I have attached two pages from the Celestaire catalog showing the Kollsman periscopic sextant and the A-10A. The Kollsman cost four times the A-10A. I bought the A-10A since there was no way I could afford the Kollsman. This is the 1977 catalog so $600 dollars then was real money..."

I note in your catalogue page, the English MkIX was for sale too at $85 with averager; whereas the American A10 was $94.
You should have bought the MkIX - it's better and cheaper..... :-)
