Have one of the 300+ TeeterScope telescopes currently out in the world? We service those too of course! We love getting the telescopes we designed and built back into the workshop for a freshening up. OR, are you thinking about selling your TeeterScope and need/want us to do some repairs prior to the sale? Or have you just purchased a secondhand TeeterScope and want it looked over? WE'RE HERE FOR YOU!
We do NOT offer Maintenance & Repairs service on Antique/Brass/Spyglass Type Telescopes, or Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes (SCTs) or Refractors at this Time. Inquiring about such service will result in a non-response from us.
For Antique/Brass/Spyglass type telescopes replacement parts simply do not exist for them and making one-off replacements is extremely cost prohibitive. Further, working on those telescopes poses a financial liability risk for us beyond which we're comfortable.
For Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes (SCTs) and Refractors, specialized equipment with which we do not have access is usually required. Simply put, we're just not "tooled up" for work on SCTs and Refractors, nor do we have sufficient experience. You wouldn't want your SCT or Refractor to be the one we learn on, would you? LOL.
***PLEASE NOTE***:
Our Standard Shop Rate is $75/hour and Repair/Upgrade Services are estimated based upon labor and parts for each specific job.
Please also keep in mind that if you are not within driving distance of our Northern New Jersey Facility you will have to ship your telescope/parts to us, of which you will be responsible for the cost both ways.
For larger/heavier telescopes outside of driving distance from us, we obviously suggest you investigate more local solutions first. If no such other options exist we are more than happy to guide you as to how best to prepare your telescope/parts for shipping.
