I recently bought a pretty decent little th43 and was interested in getting a manual. If anyone has one that they'd sell (or scan) it would be greatly appreciated. I need to do some cleaning and adjusting of it and hesitate to go in blind.
thanks!
The manual can be found by typing in "Zeiss TH-43" in the search box. I found it using Bing and is available for download.
couple of commercial pdf sites show up, but not responsive to download. also they are pay sites, but show no costs nor places to sign up. FAQ no help....
anyone else might know of a manual?
I emailed Zeiss and asked them, they had a pdf copy they sent me back. I'd speculate that they have a lot of manuals for "historical instruments". I set up this TH43 and it's just a beautiful piece of equipment, superb optics and that great feel of an all metal theodolite. Nice to not have a micrometer, too.
Do you want another theodolite?
I have a Th43 here that but for my frugal nature would have gone to the landfill years ago.
It took a fall or otherwise suffered trauma, now the tilting axis is bound up.
It has the adapters for a top-mount EDM. It does not have the leveling base, just the brass shaft coming out of the bottom of the instrument. S/N 78660, co-branded Keuffel & Esser.
It is yours (or anyone elses, if you decline or do not respond in a day) for cost of shipping.

reminds me of the "dog named Lucky" story.
