We are able to undertake special projects and component manufacture, for example the refurbishment of antique and classic telescopes.
We can replicate the style and design of all major telescope makers from the past, provided sketches or photos of components are available, and produce components in polished aluminium, brass, etc.
We are also considering designs for solid or composite wooden tubes as found on telescopes from the 19th century, and a pillar and claw stand - modelled on
Broadhurst Clarkson designs from the early part of last century - will shortly be available for customers wishing to mount antique or vintage telescopes.
We are currently working on design and manufacture of components for the 10inch Henry Fitz Refractor at the Oxford Mills Observatory in Ontario, Canada.
This telescope, built in 1862, has an F19 focal ratio and an original wooden tube. A new 10inch doublet is being produced by Mr James Gort, and he has commissioned us to make a fully adjustable lens cell and tube fittings, CNC machined and hand finished in polished brass.
The three component cell has been cast and machining is under way with an anticipated completion in around three months.
Please contact us to discuss any special production or refurbishment requirements that you may have.
