There is a new three position toggle switch on the side of the
Telrad - centre - off, forward - flashing (rate can be set with
control on the unit), and rear - normal nonflashing operation.
Haven't put it to a star test yet, but it seems to me it should be a
great improvement.
Well, looks like I'm not the first person on the planet to think that
intermittent lighting on a telrad would be a welcome design feature!
Thanks Al, Attilla & Bruce for all the info on various options.
I have a message in to Efstonscience to see if they still carry the
type of unit you bought at Starfest, Al. I'll post if I get any
information re availability and prices.
However, I'm also drawn by the simplicity of the "interruptor switch"
design that Bruce is thinking of using for his telrad (kind of like
the manual switching on & off I do now, I guess, except it would
automatically return to the selected brightness).
Maybe if we're all out at FLO one day soon, I'll ask for permission to
take the various flashing telrads for a spin before making a decision!
Thanks again,
Janice
