[Atmob-discuss] Local astronomy equipment dealer

Ya...Rivers is closing but they are trying to dump all of their
astronomy gear.  They will eventually close and the only thing staying
around will be the photo lab.  Best bet is to call first.  They told me
once they decide to close the doors the left-over's will go on eBay

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....

tony Costanzo's "astronomy-shoppe" in Plaistow (my fair city) NH.

	Rivers is closing down? 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
<http://www.meade.com/authdlrshowroom/ma/8819.html> 

	N. Attleboro Falls

	MA

	02763

	(508)699-8819

	 

	Snap Shop <http://www.meade.com/authdlrshowroom/ma/4725.html> 

	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
