Greg;
With regards to the MAC sextant,I have one I purchased on E-Bay from a
fellow in Montreal.It is in as new condition.The interesting thing is that
it is identical to a Tamaya sextant I also have.All parts including the
scopes,mirrors,etc. are interchangable.Both sextants are of mid 1970's
vintage and come with the certificates.Also of interest,but not confirmed by
actual comparison,is the fact that the Tamaya appears to match instruments
marketed by Simex and Nautec(?) of the same vintage.I believe all these
brands were manufactured by or under license from Tamaya as "house brands"
for mid level consumer use.
Hope this is of some help.Although the MAC does not match the quality of the
high end units I believe it would make an accurate user.I'm sure there are
more knowledgable folks here who may be able to offer some insight.
Earl
