[Chaos-l] Telescope Rehab

[Terry Crook]

Sounds good to me; that is: sell a rehabbed unit 
to raise enuf $ to cover the contracted efforts, 
any replacement hardware, etc.
We'd need to 'front some money' for the 1st 
mirror restoration or get a commitment for prompt 
purchase once ready for delivery.

Jaime, I could paint a tube or two at my house, 
either in my studio/office (with drop clothes, 
etc.) or outdoors in warm/dry weather since my 
work habits/schedules are quite flexible....one 
of the virtues of self-employment as an 
"independent contractor" in Real Estate!
Refresh my recollection; how long is the tube? I 
expect one would fit into my backseat (Acura 
Legend, ~60" max) or in the back of my son-in-law's old pickup.
