Technically, this unit is a POOXT and consists of a PROON reflex housing and a POOIM magnifier. Now, that gets the formalities out of the way! The unit I have available is s/n 4303. I compared it to my other two PLOOT housings, s/n 2695 and 5660. 4303 is in what I would describe as E- condition. Here are the noted defects: -- the rubber eyecup is dried and has a crack -- the paint is worn -- the mirror is degraded and needs resurfaced. This is a first-surface mirror. The glass is in good shape. -- the button to raise the mirror is jammed. I have NOT tried to force it up nor have I used oil on it. The housing for the mutton seems to be canted inwards. -- the rubber ring at the top of the focusing unit is cracked and is missing a bit of rubber. The unit is complete and entire, though it does not include the release cable, and, other than the mirror, optically fine. It does need good cleaning $US 75.00 Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
