Oehler model 11-61
I picked up an old Oehler model 11 with model 61 skyscreen boxes in a trade yesterday but without the skyscreens. I have contacted Oehler and they were no help in getting a picture or even describing what the skyscreens should look like. Does anyone out there have a picture of a #61 box with the skyscreen set up that I can look at and maybe rig something up for these? I have an Oehler 33 so it's not like I don't have a chrono, but it's sort of like getting an old car running again. It just ought to be fun!
Thanks!

PM me with your email address and I'll take some pictures of mine and email them to you. I used mine in tandem with my M35P and M43 a couple years ago to check them out, still worked fine. 1st time I used them since I got the M35P back in '90 after Oehler rebuilt the M61 sky screens. Got it new in '75 and used it a lot.

Can't help you with the M11, but I have an Oehler Model 10 with paper screens Big Grin I use it along with my Royal adding machine and IBM Selectric to keep the stats on my shooting.

Larry,
Just need to see what the skyscreens look like and what I need to do to make some new ones. The model 61 boxes look to be in real good shape.

Larry,
Got the e-mail and really appreciate your help. These don't use skyscreens in the conventional sense and that is what I was wondering. If there is any information I can supply to you just let me know.
thanks,
Blair
