These are in Tucson at EOST where they were refurbished. A photo of the finished top ring can be seen in the November 2000 progress section. This is a combination of two photos roughly aligned to show the whole structure. The second photo shows the interior of the drive unit of the telescope. It is now open and most of the gears, enoders and wiring has been removed and transported to Tucson for refurbishment, replacement and engineering.
Plans are in place to paint the structure of the telescope in the coming month or two.
The consortium has tentatively decided on purple, though the exact shade has yet to be decided. Pictures of the painted telescope will be posted here when that task is complete. The electronics cabinets for the telescope have undergone their design, draft and critical review. These cabinets will hold the computers and necessary electronics to make the telescope work. Hundreds of drawings of the necessary circuits and connectors were reviewed for compatibility and completeness.
