[38degsouth (Dean)]

A long shot indeed, but no harm asking I guess!

Seeking a particular Vixen Custom 60L, serial number 910M103

This was my first scope, last seen when sold online 15+ years ago by a Melbourne SE suburbs storage unit facility. long story.. sigh.

Thanks for reading.

Regards, Dean

Hello Dean,

you might have seen it. The same model was listed on Ebay about 1-1/2 hrs after you posted this wanted ad. It's in Melbourne. Different serial number, but.....

Hi Graham, thanks mate. I saw that listing on ebay earlier this evening, and after doing so I ran to the filing cabinet to check my list of serial numbers, but alas, no cigar. Seeing that ad prompted my wanted listing, I'd been meaning to do it for a while now. Thanks again, Dean.

Bump..

..with an addition of posting a scan of my original late 70's AOS brochure page for these Vixen achro's. Nostalgia!

Dean,

Here is your scope of many years ago.



I have had it about 4 years. I used it just last night at our holiday cottage in Cooma. It has excellent optics and I could easily pick out Rigel's companion.
But my best observation with this scope is this one

PM me for more about this scope.

Well paint me green and call me a cucumber!
It lives, that's awesome.

John, a PM will be heading your way shortly.

It has been a good story Dean. You will have to mark it as "Found" soon. Hope the moderators do not mind a bit of extra in this thread. Here is a page from the 1990 Vixen Catalogue.
