You can get the lenses at Anchor Optics. The experimental grade lenses are the low price ones. Paper towel or toilet paper cores or mailing tubes work well as telescope tubes. campbelp2002

Might try these folks -
The other thing you could do is check out thrift stores for old, junk binoculars or telescopes.
Other ideas is make your own optical table with a yardstick, putty (playdough) and some sort of flat surface Nyx
