(Hi I tried on a different newsgroup, but was referred here.)
Hello, I have a few questions on a Trippensee Planetarium I have recently
acquired. I would like to restore it so it looks nice, and works well. Is it
possible to find replacement parts for these? I need the earth more than
anything. Venus and the moon need repainted. Is the moon solid white, or
half white, half black? My base is broke, but I think I have all the pieces
to get it back together. Also, what is in the little circle on the arm. Mine
is cloudy and opaque.
The base and the arm are a somewhat faded out brownish color. Is that right,
or were they painted something else?
Last for now, How can I tell it's approximate age? I am guessing maybe it
was made in the 60's or 70's, but see no real indicators on when it was
built.
Thanks for any help!
Travis Ogden

Hi again,
Thanks for the site. I was hoping more for buying individual pieces though,
not the whole thing. I will try to look at the Google sites some more and
find something.

Actually IIRC you sent him to "sci.astro.amature". Fortunately he had
the sense to correct the spelling.
