Cheap PST for Modification

Post by uplooker »

Hi All,
I came across this PST for sale. Yes, the objective is very badly rusted, but as you all know this does not matter if you plan to use it for a modification. Not sure how much it will go for in the end as there are still 5 days to run.

I am not connected with this sale.

No I was outbid by £1.00

I thought it was worth a punt, but I wasn't prepared to pay more than £250 just for old parts.

Don't rub it in Mark. ;)

I was going to increase my bid with 30 secs to go, but I was using the wifes ebay account (I don't have one) and did not have her password, so I let it go.

Put it to good use Peter, just don't tell me how fantastic the etalon is. ;)
