Sorry guys- PJM didn't want to know how little others have spent to make a
scope.
He wanted a low end estimate for what it might cost him. I'd better read the
posts
more carefully. The mirror silvering was estimated on the basis of more than
100
 mirrors silvered with a Peacock kit. About $2.00 per mirror.

I goofed, so I'll make it up to him this way. PJM,  send me the mirror and
pay the
shipping. I'll silver it next spring when we run the mirrors for the current
class.
No charge.

PJM- write me off list, and I'll try to put together a "care package" from
my mirror
class  that will help you make a scope for very little.
