Dobsonian retro Kit: Complexity and time required?
Most people can handle what is required to install the kit. Templates are provided where necessary to ease the installation and ensure it is done right. Tools required are a hand drill, screw drivers, and some drill bits (a large one is required – obtainable at your local hardware store for usually $5-10). We have tried to reduce the time and feel that, as one customer stated: if I an Arts major can do this in a 1 bedroom apartment – ANYONE CAN do it! . We estimate it can be done in under 5 hours TOTAL (and it has been done in less!). Depending on your level of comfort allow 4-6 hours. Not a great deal when you consider you can start on a Saturday morning AND BE USING IT THAT NIGHT!
