[Atmob-discuss] Local astronomy equipment dealer

[Peter T]

ALL Discovery Stores closed earlier this year. They now only operate "virtual stores", i.e. online-only. 
   
  The Rivers Camera site lists lots of used astro equip., but their page was last updated in May 2007.  I suggest that he call first....

  I heard a couple months ago that Rivers was out of Astro products, now a "pure" photo store. The only local place I know of is tony Costanzo's "astronomy-shoppe" in Plaistow (my fair city) NH.

They’re still advertising in Astronomy and their website doesn’t say anything about closing down. Or are you talking about closing for the Holidays. They have a Holiday schedule on their website.
   
  The Meade website also lists these two businesses as authorized Meade dealers:
   
  Audio Concepts
  N. Attleboro Falls
  MA
  02763
  (508)699-8819
   
  Snap Shop
  Great Barrington
  MA
  01230
  (413)528-4725
   
  I don’t know anything about either of them, but if you’re just purchasing eyepieces and taking them overseas I don’t see that which dealer you go to makes a difference. I’d call them and see who’s closest and has the desired eyepiece(s).
   
    Clear skies,
  Dave

  Send him to Rivers in Dover.  They had a ton of Meade eyepieces left and I think they have not closed down yet.

    Hi all,

     

            I just received a call from someone visiting from overseas looking for Meade eyepieces.  He has contacted Hunt Drug in Melrose without success.  Is there still a place out in the route 9 Framingham area that carries some astronomy accessories?

     

            Thank you,  Dan
