I probably should have added the caveat that if the objective is one of the ultra rare ones made by Nikon (I believe there's still a few unaccounted for), or if the telescope is complete with all desirable accessories, such as the photo-eq mount and drive, guide scopes, correct legs and shelf etc. Or even the original clockwork gravity drive can fetch astonishing money.
Unfortunately just an OTA is more likely to be of interest as a replacement for a damaged one to a restorer.
Sadly, they just aren't particularly good or practical as telescopes, and the modern 4" refractors are far superior.
Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression on the value.
Cheers
Andrew
