Does anybody have any opinions about this animal or interest in it?

Does anybody (besides me) have one?

how big is it? Most collimators I know are 3 meters long, and weigh about as much as a small horse.

Hi Lee,

I have one sitting on end on the floor and the top is about eye level.

Optically it's a 48" collimator with a U-shaped optical path, accomplished using two first-surface mirrors set at 45°.

If you need more accurate info I can pull the manual.
