Re: Looking to purchase a MKIXB bubble sextant

Hello Paul, Garret, and All:

I'd also like to restore a bubble sextant, but a relatively simple one. I was considering a MK 1X as a first choice and a MK1X A as a second choice. Navy Mark V as a 3 rd possibility . In the discussion a 4-5 years ago (before I was on List), which I found very helpful, I recollect the A-10 and A -12 were simple and excellent but had a few issues: 1. Bubble difficult to replace/reform? 2. A-12 needs the cap enlarged .01" or so ...... Any info would be helpful.

Thanks l

Bruce

Garret- Take a look at the collection Mark Sudbury inherited. He has a MK1XA for sale – I’m not sure is that is close enough. -Paul p.s. I’m curious – why the MK1XB? I bought an A-12 about a year ago because I wanted something simple that I could restore (which it is – to a fault). What is it about the MX model that interests you?
