Jena stoped being Ziess at the end of WWII.  You have a nice casting that is not painted black inside to cut down on reffelections.  You have a lot of wiring that is not color coded for troubleshooting.  Not knowing when this peice was made I give it a B+

I've seen some of your pics of this equipment before along with the beautiful scenery in front of your observation cabin.
The tear down showing inside the OEM2 is a great follow up.
I have a question. Do you tear it down any further for maintenance? Or, did you have to clean any of your prisms or lenses after exposing them to the outside air for this tear down.

Thanks,
Doug

I do have a friend to carry it
 
 
Strap that on his back too often and he won't be your friend for long.  Big%20Grin
 
You do get wonderful pictures, though.
