Next message: jean-philippe planas: "Re: Removing/Replacing Sextant Mirrors?"
What's the right way to remove and replace sextant mirrors? The Astra that I won on EBay arrived (finally...) yesterday, with the index mirror removed and packed separately (not sure if I asked the seller to ship it that way or not, but maybe that was a safer way to ship it).
Couldn't find any instructions for how to replace the mirrors in the manuals that came with it, and since it didn't look like the spring-clips would bend enough to insert the mirror without either breaking or deforming, I just unscrewed one of them and replaced the mirror that way. That seemed to work OK (index error has now been adjusted to zero on that particular setup, and it seems to sight OK), but just for future reference what's the right way to do this?
