Bill, where did you get these numbers from?? Is this only Celestaire sales or you somehow managed to find out the global sales?? (I understand that there are commercial secrets. But are these the numbers of ONE DEALER? Or the US? Or of something else). (It's hard to believe that Tamaya sells only 30 sextants per year. This would not compensate their expenses to produce them.) The Russians (Soviets) are apparently out of business. I believe that my SNO-T produced in 1990 was among the last ones. Alex.
