Southern hemisphere planet cage installed, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. Starballs go on next. This is the second Minolta Series IIB that I have taken out. The first one came out of Scobee Planetarium in San Antonio and is now in Cave Creek AZ where my friend Ron is building a dome for it. This one came out of Mishawaka, Indiana. There are subtle differences between the two machines, I have a hunch that no two are alike. I have been removing alot of dust bunnies and dirt, seems like nobody ever cleaned them the whole time they were installed under their original domes. Mild dish detergent and a thin film of WD-40 reveals a like-new artifact. There is very little wear on the gears and slip rings, this one will last longer than I will. These are engineering masterpieces and it is of no surprise that they cost a small fortune when they were new.
