RAO Royal Astro Optical 50mm f/10 refractor

Selling this little RAO Japanese telescope in original box with table top tripod. I believe it might be late '50's early '60's vintage. Comes with three original eyepieces, two HM (Huygen Mittenzwey) 6mm and 12.5mm (not so common) and a K20mm, which was the recommended eyepiece for the original terrestrial zoom erector (also included) and a mirror diagonal. Everything works fine. The objectives show a little bit of discolouration in spots but doesn't affect the image to my eye. View of the moon is fine with any of the eyepieces, but with my 9mm Vixen Orthoscopic it was superb! (sorry the Orthoscopic not included). I gave the box a light restoration and tuned up the catches and handle. Cosmetically there are a few paint chips off the tube and off the rifle sight finder. The tripod has been repainted. The set screw on the eyepiece adaptor and the tripod are grub screws. There is one screw missing on the front sight. Looking for offers around $200, or you know, chat to me if you like it
