The magnetic bearings are great, however, the relative bearings are not. The relative bearing circle moves as you try to get a bearing. Relative bearing circle should be set and not move. Once you set 000 relative to 000 magnetic, the instrument should be able to be moved left or right to take a bearing. This instrument doesn't do that because the 000 relative bearing ring moves with the scope. It can be modified though I guess by securing the relative bearing circle. Or just an added step in calculation once magnetic north is established, turn the scope to the bearing you want (keeping the needle to the established north and as long that needle stays in position, you can take the bearing off magnetic. The manufacturer should have figured this flaw out. ## Features - Overall dimensions: wooden base diameter : 7 " inches , Height : 8.5 inches , Telescope Tube length : 12 inches - Material : Solid Brass & Wood, Color : Antique Brass Finish.Handsome and heavy wooden base - Large fixed compass with artistic design.This is a perfect item for illustration and functions of theodolite.A vintage reproduction. - This Alidade theodolite compass comes with a sturdy wooden base and will serve as a gorgeous central piece in your nautical design. - Gorgeous miniature makes a Stunning home accent, or a great gift! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07WZS3BNK | | Additional Features | Adjustable | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,389,387 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #224 in Decorative Telescopes | | Brand | collectiblesBuy | | Brand Name | collectiblesBuy | | Customer Reviews | 3.3 out of 5 stars 3 Reviews | | Item Dimensions L x W | 14"L x 8.5"W | | Manufacturer | collectiblesBuy | | Manufacturer Part Number | SEASON84 | | Material | Brass, Metal, Wood | | Material Type | Brass, Metal, Wood | | Model Number | SEASON84 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 14"L x 8.5"W | | Special Feature | Adjustable | ## Product Details - **Brand:** collectiblesBuy - **Material:** Brass, Metal, Wood - **Product Dimensions:** 14"L x 8.5"W - **Special Feature:** Adjustable - **Manufacturer:** collectiblesBuy ## Images ![Antique Nautical Brass Alidade Compass with 14-Inch Theodolite Telescope – Vintage Surveying Instrument & Navigation Decor for Desk or Collectors - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81itQDXbGPL.jpg) ![Antique Nautical Brass Alidade Compass with 14-Inch Theodolite Telescope – Vintage Surveying Instrument & Navigation Decor for Desk or Collectors - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mWhEPVhhL.jpg) ![Antique Nautical Brass Alidade Compass with 14-Inch Theodolite Telescope – Vintage Surveying Instrument & Navigation Decor for Desk or Collectors - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xDHqHCmmL.jpg) ![Antique Nautical Brass Alidade Compass with 14-Inch Theodolite Telescope – Vintage Surveying Instrument & Navigation Decor for Desk or Collectors - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61u0Kfu-lUL.jpg) ![Antique Nautical Brass Alidade Compass with 14-Inch Theodolite Telescope – Vintage Surveying Instrument & Navigation Decor for Desk or Collectors - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8105MIbETJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ DISPLAY ONLY *by D***Y on August 9, 2022* It is a very nice piece, but as for a good functioning instrument, it's pretty bad.
