I’m trying to figure out what kind of spider to buy (because that tragedy of pig iron that came with the Coulter secondary is an offense to spiders everywhere). What keeps coming up is either ProtoStar or Van Sykes.
Van Slyke’s stuff better come with bikini-clad bimbo to install and adjust it, because that stuff costs more than my first 3 cars. Combined.
I sure like the protostar secondary holder. I’m still figuring out what my upper assembly is going to look like. I might end up having to do a curved spider, much to my focusing horror.
