The company that presently services
this type of equipment has confirmed that the unit will operate on
110VAC, 30 amps (household current) and that they can easily configure
the unit to operate solely as an electrically driven cinetheodolite,
without the features of data collection as originally designed, if that
is the intended use. We will not disconnect or reconfigure the
electrical, in the event the buyer would want to access the full range
of capabilities.
If this telescope were going to be
put back into service and used by an agency for its originally designed
purpose, it would need the mainframe computer to link up with and
control power box which is not a part of this unit. The precision gears
in this unit produce an accuracy to 3 arc seconds, which is not
achievable with current instruments (7 arc seconds is about as accurate
as instruments of this nature are built today, per the rep). There is
virtually no slack or tolerance in this instrument.
Components in the photo of the dome
are not included. This picture is shown so you can see what it looked
like originally. Likewise, the photo showing actual operators is for
illustration purposes only.
The purchaser of this amazing
instrument will be the only private citizen on earth that owns one of
these units. Set-up & arranged properly, in a home or business setting,
this cinetheodolite would become a one of a kind conversation piece that
could be enjoyed by both friends and business associates.
