... Well, first of all, let me state categorically that I acquired these products during November, well in advance of the holiday season, and some of the bad...

Yup... missed out on the 4.8 Nagler deal.. Oh well... There were 400 of 'em. Soooooo... since SO many in Calif took advantage of the deal, I would say that ...
... Dax, Randy makes some good points. It's always best to try before you buy. I do have a 4.8 Nagler and a variety of 1.25" and 2" Powermates and Barlows...
... Excellent advice! If they're sold out, not all is lost. Certainly a few of those vintage Naglers will find their way to AstroMart where you can pick one up...
... Man, I remember that sweet 19 Pan. That's the one you made hints about selling to me, before you sold it to the WoodMaster. You should have sold it to me:...
