Full Size 13.5" Brass Nautical & Surveyor's Theodolite with 63" Tripod Option

A beautiful detailed and functional and calibrated solid brass reproduction of a precision theodolite. Nowdays they have been replaced by electronics. However, many science enthusiasts still use them today for precision optical alignment and measurement. Great collectibles and display pieces for schools, institutions and physics enthusiasts.

This one is a 13.5-inch solid brass fully functional theodolite weighing 7.45 kg. Readings are obtained on vernier scales with built in magnifiers and spirit levels. A magnetic compass is mounted on the azimuth axis. Both axii have slow motion controls and the telescope can plunge and reverse to reduce bearing errors. It comes with a wooden handle and a teak surveyor's tripod mount.

You can order a mahagony 63" collapisble tripod to mount the theodolite for $125 extra.
