The doctors here just bought a new lensmeter. They have got two old ones, American Optical model 12603 and a Bausch & Lomb type 21-65-70. They still function but the manager has told me to get rid of them. I figure they must be worth something to someone? Anyone have any idea of what they could be worth?
I'll reluctantly take them off your hands if you'll pay postage...pm me....
How much? I could use one!
Your old instruments, both AO And B&L are better then any new optical lensmeter made today.
I know, I repair them. I also make the parts for them. AO, Reichert and B&L have not made or supported either instrument for years.
Add to your list of oxymorons. "New and Improved"
The AO 603 could be worth around $250 and the B&L in very good condition could be worth $500-$900. Put them on Optiboard in the Marketplace thread.
Is still have one that I purchased brand new in the mid 1960s .......................
Is still have one that I purchased brand new in the mid 1960s and still use it once in awhile.
Also I still kept my first automatic Essilor MBA bevel edger from the 1960s which has a mechanical counter that shows the number 92,659 that should actually go into an optical Museum.
