Anyone own a Royal Astro 6" reflector?

Guys,
Picked up a Royal Astro mount, Im pretty sure its for a six inch but whats the diameter of a Royal 6" OTA . Inside cradle size is 7 1/2". An Astro Optical 6" fits in with thick rubber to take up extra space. Was the Royal Astro that much bigger on the outside?

Have a look at this link Roger :

I'm sure I've got some more info on Royal scopes somewhere. I remember The Amateur Astronomy Supply Co. sold them back in the 1960's and 70's, they were considered to be a high quality amateur telescopes along side Polarex/Unitrons. at least optically.

Steve,
Thanks, I have an LN-4 under resto, the mount appears to be a LN-6, if you find a LN-10 in the back shed send it my way? more realistically if anyone sees a LN-6 OTA let me know.
