Chuck,
You are welcome (no need to exchange it for cash) to any scrap pieces, I have both sizes but probably just enough for dew caps. I did buy the tubing locally and it was always in stock, as I recall I looked in the yellow pages under irrigation tubing. Erik Erik, I was just quoted some long lead times on tubing from Joe
Nastasi at Parallax, as well as Hastings. I'm looking for some 5" OD and 7" OD. Will gladly buy it from you if it fills the bill.

I would say that refractor tube assemblies are perhaps the easiest for an ATM'er to build themselves. Aluminum irrigation pipe seems to come in most diameters and is pretty easy to cut, I've done it with a hack saw and a file to square it.
I have some extra pieces for a 5" and 6" refractor if any wants some.
