Title: Question for Julian
Post by: mickw on Jun 29, 2010, 10:13:39
Julian who was the clever, helpful bloke at Pulsar re the PST mod ?

Are you using the double stacked etalon or the 1 angstrom version ?

Why do they have 2 different names (Pulsar Optical and Scopes'n'Skies), but the same contact details and all the astronomical scopes on both sites. Wouldn't it be just as easy to manage 1 site rather than 2.  :-?

It would be rude not to  ;)

One for orders, one for complaints  :roll:

I'm told by a contact in "the game" that Pulsar has just started to sit up and take notice of their customers (might have something to do with the demise of Telescope Planet?). Prior to this I don't think that one site for complaints would have been enough  :evil:

Hmm, hadn't realised that Telescope Planet had bit the dust, let's hope Pulsar/Scopes n Skies/Astronomy & Nature Centre etc. etc. have learnt the lesson.
I'll find out if they at least answer their phone tomorrow.

Well, got through to Pulsar after only 3 minutes on Wednesday and managed to speak to the right bloke.
Much discussion ensued and a decision was made - Off went said bloke to discuss matters with Astro Engineering and said he would ring me back with a price that afternoon  8)

However, due to Robert and Fay putting a curse on my plans, poor bloke was probably struck by lightning as I have had no reply  :(

I'm not ringing Pulsar/Scopes n Skies/Astro Engineering etc. etc. any more F@@@ em  :twisted:

*Warning*  If Fay or Robert ever try to sell you clothes pegs or lucky white heather, do not refuse or they may curse you also

This all sounds rather familiar, perhaps they haven't changed after all  :roll:

Have you considered  crossing Fay's or Robert's palms with silver and getting them to call Pulsar?

You should keep on at Scopesnskies as the solar scope is worth it in the end.  They are the only ones who do the mod.
It took me along time to get it sorted and my friend got his scope in about a mouth and a half so they are improving!
At the end of the day it is worth it.  :D

PS.   You could always buy my scope for three thousand pound (thats about 1200.00 for the scope and 1,800 for me to deal with Scopesnskies)  ;)

Crossing Robert or Fays palms with silver is getting a bit close to selling my soul  :(

However, Julians scope for 3 grand seems like a bargain if I never have to deal with Pulsar again............................

Decisions, decisions..................................................

I think I'll.........................................

Have a beer  :D
