If you have a wish, send me a note.
I would never purchase a T2 that has had an edm mounted on it. Angles never seem to close very well after havin a edm mounted on it. I still have my T2 purchased in 1980 for $5200..Mint, like new condition and with a Wild Roleof Solar Prism, turn solars 3D and 3R to within + - 2-3". It's a beautiful gun.

I'd be wary of one that had the EDM mounted on the scope, but many years ago I used one that had the mounts on the standards, and they didn't seem to affect the angles.
I'll know more about the one I bought in about a week. 🙂
I have a pair of inverted image T-2 that I always planned to put on each side of the fire place mantel, with a twin dial calendar clock in the center. I made the choice to marry a wonderful woman 5 years ago and she had different decorating tastes. Her large landscape painting is centered on the mantel and I got to put a clock om each side of it. I ran out of Realestate for the theodolites.
I have a T-16 that I might be willing to part with if the price was right. As someone else said, my wife doesn't share my taste in mantle decorating.
I have consistently closed angles like that with a T-2 with an edm mounted on top. It may well depend on how well everything is balanced.

Jim,
You may want to fill the holes in with JBkwik WELD. Wait for it set up somewhat and then pour in the holes, so as not to have it sink into the gun, wiping off the excess. I've done quite abit of repairs with JBkwik and it works very well.

I saw this jewel in the flea market below the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. There were many Gurley's (US surplus they looked).
The starting price on the Wild was 250 Euros, without a box or tripod. I bet I could have bargained it down to 100E but I didn't have space or the inclination to bring it home. I didn't even look carefully enough to notice which model it is :-(, I didn't want to get to tempted!
The Wild was in the shop at 37-58-36.43N 23-43-26.72E
