Tasco 5VTE
This is the latest addition to my stable. A Tasco 5VTE - in relatively poor condition. This is a 60mm refractor that has a fixed eyepiece, with adjustable zoom levels of 15x, 30x, 45x & 60x. It has a dented lens hood, focus is loose, so will need some work. The tripod is metal, but is missing the spreader. I just picked it up today from a guy whose father had bought it in the early 1980's - so about 30 years old perhaps. The older versions of this had a metal focus knob whereas this one is made of plastic.
The objective lens appears clear, but I can see some garbage further down the tube - this one is non-inverted viewing so would be great for landscapes, which was probably one of the main reasons for it.
