It was designed to position a workpiece with high accuracy relative to the spindle. The heavy industrial construction, grey enamel finish and blackened steel parts make it a solid example of Soviet machine-shop optics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eItem Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optical center finder for coordinate boring and milling machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e TsO-2 (ЦО-2) type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey enamel finish with blackened steel components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear reticle (crosshair), lenses with violet \/ blue coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e Side measurement scale from -2 to +2 with fine increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass adjustment knob, rotating eyepiece for focus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.082 kg (approx. 2.4 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e USSR (Soviet Union)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCosmetically, the center finder shows signs of time, including minor paint chips and surface wear consistent with age and workshop use. The optical path is clear and the crosshair is visible, and the coated lenses appear to be in good vintage condition. The mechanical parts move, but the instrument has not been tested on a machine. As with all vintage precision instruments, it is sold as-is for use, restoration or collection.
