Last year I tried to find the manufacturer - East Berks Boat Company -
and, even with an assist from George Huxtable who lives in England,
was unable to do so. On the net I found an address and wrote to them,
but the letter came back - "Addressee unknown."

I used the EBBCO at sea for three years -1972 through1975. Then I
bought a metal sextant. I really liked the EBBCO. It was cheap, it was
rugged and it did the job.

The only problem I had with it was that the shades went opaque after
many years in storage, but I was able to find one last year on eBay
which had good shades and now have a serviceable one.  Also, the one
from eBay gave me an additional Allen wrench for adjusting the
mirrors. Other spare parts, too.

I haven't seen one recently on eBay, but I haven't been actively looking either.
