The following message went out to the Yahoo Sextants group, but I
haven't seen it on the Google NavList.

Back a few years ago when I was still in the military, I looked up the
mil spec for the Mark III. It was pretty interesting, including all the
accuracy requirements (with and without shades) and the test procedure.
One thing I noticed was that the spec seemed to be deliberately written
to match only a C. Plath or clone.

But now we hear that "This product has become all but obsolete in the
past few years."

Good day group members.

My name is Tom Buraczewski and I am one of the owners of Scientific
Instruments located in Milwaukee, WI.  For many years we manufactured
the MK III mod 1 Sextant used by the US Navy.  This product has become
all but obsolete in the past few years.  We have ceased its manufacture
and looking for someone who might have interest in the surplus parts as
well as the C. Plath Collimator used to determine the corrections along
the arc.  I wanted to put out the word with the hope of finding some
interest within the Nagigation community.  I can send phots if you wish
to contact me.  If anyone has interest, or knows someone who might, I
would appreciate a call.

Thank you,

Thomas Buraczewski
