I really hate to part with these, but they have been mostly stored out of sight for too long (years). I have nowhere to display them. T2 & T16 are upright image, the T3 is inverted. T16 has some use on it, the T2 & T3 are very clean.?ÿ All 3 have the 'bullet caseƒ??. The T2 has additional hard plastic case, and the T3 has large wood case as well. I'm entirely unsure regarding shipping??ÿ Anyone interested in the set?

Oh man, I'd love to take the T16 off your hands. How much do you want for it? Do you have any photos?

Inverted T3? We will know who is really a pirate with far greater precision!

I suggest posting asking prices for these in order to maximize your base of potential buyers.?ÿ The figures can be aspirational, but should be realistic.?ÿ With no numbers to start with, many of us will assume that the cost of acquisition is out of range and won't submit as offer so as not to offend you with a number that's less than what you're willing to accept.?ÿ An eBay search on sold items can usually provide ballpark pricing.

Thank you, Jim, good advice.?ÿ I did see a few clean T2s on eBay a couple of weeks ago for around $1,300. There were a couple of T3s also, but they were not in anywhere near as nice condition as this one is.?ÿ I would let the entire set go for $3,500 including the ƒ??Auto Rangerƒ?? (auto ranger is un-tested as of yet), but all shipping would be in addition to that.?ÿ Local pickup is always an option, Southern Nevada region.

Separate offers will be considered if no one wants the entire set.

Separate (without shipping);

T16 - $350

T2 + Auto Ranger - $1400

T3 - $2000

These are pretty reasonable numbers. Iƒ??m not looking to ƒ??make a killingƒ??.

If Wendell passes on the T16, I'll take it off your hands.

Go ahead... I think the one I'm looking for may be a later model? Not sure, but that one certainly looks different than the one I used in the 80's and 90's.

Any pitting in the optics? That a big downgrade if there is.?ÿ

If you'll send me a private message with your mailing address, I'll send you a check for the purchase of the T16 (plus S & H) and the shipping address.

@mightymoe?ÿ

I am grading the 'glass' in all the instruments as perfect.?ÿ No scratches, no pitting.?ÿ Pics to follow but only as good a Galaxy S8 droid can can do.?ÿ here is the T2. Notice the bluing on the focus rings is nearly perfect, with no wear or brass showing through.?ÿ

T16

This 'gun' has more signs of use on it than the other two, but appears to have been well kept. The glass is great. There is a small amount of 'oxidation patina' surrounding the eyepiece, and some brass shows through the bluing on the focus rings. Still a nice gun. A little TLC could be applied.

?ÿThe Auto Ranger glass is also in great shape.?ÿ
