I seen an add that states that the GSO manufacturer is the same people that make other brand ep like Antares,televue,and others. If this is true or not how do they compare as far as the plossls ep go? . Thanks and clear skies.

Remember that the people who make the Lincoln Continental also make the Ford Escort.

Just because they come out of the same factory does not mean they are the same eyepieces.

And yes, there are relatively few actual manufacturers in all the world. I've heard four. I've heard a dozen, but whatever the real number, many different brands of eyepieces come out of the same factory.

I do realize that. But what I realize even more is when I worked for an independent car dealer in phx az. I was working on a jaguar xj12 I don't remember the model number. But anyway the coil was bad the only place in the state that had the part was the dealer. And the Jaguar dealer wanted 236.00 dollars for the part and it had to be shipped. So I started looking at the coil it was a bulky part and I noticed there were screws around the sides holding on a panel,so I decided to take a look and when I opened the coil up it looked like a late 70's general motors coil.I replaced it with a gm coil and the car started. Cost of the part was only 25.00 so this is why I question the similarities. thank you for your reply
