Yes that's right... and if you accept a cheque from the U.S the bank will hold it for a minimum of 25 days.... It works both ways... The U.S has trouble with...
Here's what really threw me for a loop: I always enjoy looking at the Anacortes' site - they have everything, well organized and having dealt with them, very...

Ok Christopher, worth a try. The 24 Panoptic - have had my eye on that as the perfect low power ep since it came out. What are you using it on? and what are...
Hi Ray, Thanks for your response, and I appreciate the problems. Just so unfortunate that a quality retailer has to be bogged down by CC red tape etc. I...
I wanted the absolute widest, low-power premium 1.25" EP available for my little travel scope, an ETX-125EC-UHTC. In 1.25" EP's I have a Nagler 16, UO Konig...

Oops! Squishy-processor failure. Excessive operator headspace. Cranial methane embolism. Anacortes sold me the EP for $109, not $118. And they gave me a $3 ...
