Hi Clint,

Yes, it is still there. I tried to buy it a few years ago. It's in
pretty rough shape. The weight drive was removed by the time I got to
it. Someone didn't know how to remove the objective from the cell and
the lens is chipped all over the edges. It could be restored but
would require the right person.

Last conversation I had with the college was they would call if they
thought of selling.

I offered to buy them a c14 goto in trade or whatever.
