I just sold an old NOVAK 9 point mirror cell. The cell sold within two minutes of posting the ad I got a ton of requests. It seems to me that there are no "good" mirror cells like these being manufactured any more???
My question is: Is there a large enough demand to start making these types of cells again? I've been lightly considering manufacturing mirror cells but this recent activity piques my interest even more.
What is the perceived demand amongst ATM's?

Cary-
I think there is always a demand for quality products. If I were building a scope, which I'm currently not- and I wasn't building a cell, I'd be wanting the best in quality. You are correct that good cells are difficult to find. While cells may not be that difficult for the shop-equipped amateur atm'er, it seems like a lot of people want to buy the parts and put them together. A lot of people build 8-10" scopes, and finding a good cell can be difficult.

I agree with Wes; though it's hard to see it being profitable by itself.
