ZPC.S5.F1.5

Cover letter from November 17 about modernizing the Adler's Zeiss projector, and three-page price quotation dated August 17 presenting three different offers. Offer 1 is priced at $22,725. Zeiss recommends having a factory mechanic from their Oberkochen, West Germany factory perform the improvements. The improvements would take up to 2.5 months and the cost of this person would be $4,300. Offer 2 would have the Adler send the projector [less the carriage and switchboard] back to the factory for overhaul. This would cost $26,580. The cost of the mechanic to install the upgraded projector would be the same as in Offer 1. Offer 3, as was being done by the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill, NC, would involve sending the Adler all the parts and the installation instructions so that the Adler could perform the improvements. The cost of this Offer is $20,629.50.
