Getting very close to finishing the whole shebang. Here are the 22-karat gold and triple chrome-plated setting circle and counterweight collars as well as the RA and Dec dial pin rings.

All the best friends,

Andy, I'm picking up an old Criterion RV-6 tomorrow. I was doing some research and found your project really inspiring! :-) I'll post some photos when I get the scope and maybe you can give me some ideas on where to start. :-)
