They do? Ok, just kidding. The AP 1200 goto mount is top god (dog spelled backwards)

Other Top Dogs

TeleVue Type 5 31mm - fantastic eyepiece
Badder BinoViewer
Tak LE Eyepieces
Pentax Eyepieces
My 1974 Model C8 - sand cast forks with Kenkor worm drive
My 1979 C14 - what a fun scope
Pentax 67 camera and lenses
Vixen 55mm Fluorite Refractor - Should not have sold this to Freeman - he painted it red! errrrg!
Vixen 80mm Fluorite Refractor - still have it, love it.
Questar 3.5
Celestron 8" f/1.5 schmidt camera

Dead Dog:
AP 400 mount. Failed me in Australia - would not reverse direction for southern hemisphere operation
Losmandy G-11 mount - 2 in Australia - worst RA tracking of any mount I have owned - great boat anchor
Tak focal reducer for FC- 125
Celestron 11 x 80 binoculars
Pentax SDUF-II f/4 astrograph - spherical cromatism very bad
Celestron 8" f/1.5 schmidt camera - went out of focus, unrecoverable

Another plus for AP, their outstanding mounts and
accessories.

AP doesn't stop trying to make their products function
better and look better. AP listens to their customers.
