> He said he'd check through his boxes of "OLD" stuff to get me an eyepiece and objective lenses. And possibly a light.
there are a lot of co's that sell used/surplus microscope equip - don't get hung up on a local. you might get a deal, you might pay out the nose. More likely the latter. SHOP ARROUND!
It's better to get a micrometer and ask for a spceific dimention and thread size and thread count (objectives) vs asking for pieces to a specific scope. These things are widely interchangable. For the eyepiece - I belive 28mm (26mm?) is the standard for AO., thread size is likewise most probably standard...
asking for parts from a particular model is asking to pay out the nose...
as to the light - forget it. you are better off with the mirror. you can use any light source for the mirror.

As to the RFN end - if he's an old guy who loves scopes - see about takeing it in to him and picking his brain about maintenence and scopes while he does it or guides you through doing it...
If he's a $$$ grabber, shop arround - you CAN find a guy that loves optics and would love to share a few hours talking about how to clean um and all sorts of other related stuff! - BE A SPONGE! - find the right guy, even if he's not from the "right" company...

I left the scope with him. When he gets caught up, he's going to look through his boxes of "OLD" stuff for eyepiece & objective lenses.
When we made contact, he explained that it would take some time to look through his boxes. He also explained that due to schools being out of money at the end of the school year and having money at the start, this time of year is his busiest.
I do plan on getting a maintenance lesson or two.
