A guy I know who sells alignment tools says the best way to align a Beseler is
to drop kick it!
On the other hand on the darkroom Newsgroup. (Rec.photo.darkroom.) last week
someone had a Handle on it.
Aligning an Omega is possible but you need someone to show you how to know it.
You could NEVER figure it out on your own. It is NOT Obvious which is putting it mildly.
But from recent experience I can say that it is possible.
