I don't think that I ever did speak with Ken - I think grandma always took my orders. I bought a focuser, the old low-end 1-1/4" friction type (that worked just fine), and spiders, secondary holders and flat mirrors for two different Newts. Good old days indeed.

Very off-topic! I'm sure my fellow old-timers recall calling Ken Novak, and getting "grandma" on the phone. Wonderful old lady, but she knew nothing of optical supports. Oh, the memories! Right up there with getting cussed-out by Tom Cave, and falsely promised a delivery date by John Krewalk (Criterion). The Good Old Days! On 8/19/10, Kim <kimharch@cut.net> wrote:
Where's Kenneth Novak when you need him?
