You should've sent the Takahashi in for service if it fell below your
expectations.
I sent my FS-102 in, and now it's better than ever. I now see the tiniest
stars!

Never hesitate to send something back, nor for even the slightest
fault(s).

My Tak was fine! It was super on the planets, i sold it to a friend, and
bought it back from him.
In fact i'm looking for a used Tak FS-128, to mate up to my EM-200...

Feh!


....maybe we should start a "Slap-Fight Club" for egomaniacal

Oi vey!

Am I to understand that you have it now, or did you sell it again?

I can see selling it, and then buying it back, but not selling it once more.

In fact i'm looking for a used Tak FS-128, to mate up to my EM-200...

One authority has it that the leap from an FS-102 to an FS-128
is quite minimal.

Consequently, I'd fancy an FS-152 on that EM-200 instead.

I'm sure that your Russian
grammer is up to the task.

Grammer??
Grammer?????

And I do understand your position. The position of dishonest man
who you _always_ was. Therefore I am not wonder.

Be sure, such opinion about you is not only my one. Some others
among manufacturers have the same opinion about you as ill, arrogant
and dishonest man. And what I want is simply spit on your opinion
about me.

I also would like to see any facts where you or anybody else will
show me real attac on Tom Back.

I didn't have to go very far to see or show you real attacks on Tom Back,
did I?

I think your personal vendetta against Thomas and TMB will result in nothing
but increased
sales for that company and for that, I thank you sir.

Best regards,
Bill

PS: I just recently received my 10mm TMB Super Monocentric and it's quite
the ocular. I chose that
focal length because of the gap between my 9mm Pentax and 12mm Pentax orthos
and I'm thinking I
made a very wise choice. I used it the other day to zoom in a Solar sunspot
group and during moments of
steady seeing, the view was primo sharp. My thanks go out to Thomas Back!

What's the possibility of buying it back yet again?

If i can find a used FS-152 for a deal, i will buy one...

Have you noted the price differentials between models?
We're talking new, of course, but whilst the FS-128 is $4500
it's a WHOPPING $2700 more than the FS-102, whilst the
FS-152 is but a paltry $2500 over the FS-128.

Hey, if you're going to spend that much more on a 5-inch,
go for a 6-inch instead; or, in the case of used, wait for
a reasonably-priced 6-inch to surface.

If you don't, you'll only kick yourself later on.

Now this is the best part in this entire thread, Bill. You sure are a
gentleman.
Thanks for sharing your sagely choice with us. I hope you'll also share
with us
how well the TMB SuperMono work with your finese TEC-6.

I have a 14.5" GO-TO Starmaster ordered.

is the only way i will buy...
