	Jamie,

	Wow! what a find. this instrument is worth major $$ and you are the
lucky one to do the restoration. Contact the folks at Vernonscope (phone
unknown see Sky and Tel adds) for some information.

	    Alvin Clark scopes are one of the most sought after in the states.
And, collectors would like to take it off your hands sight unseen. The famed
Clark lenses are truely works of art.

	Seek knolageable help in this restoration project and talk to the
trustees there at the school about bringing this treasure back to use.

Regards, Ethan
