This finderscope dates back to the 80's to 90's and was primarily designed for C8's though is supposed to fit any telescope according to the ads of the day . weighs about 900 grams and is an 80mm F4 achromatic finderscope. It takes standard 1.25" eyepieces and gives nice widefield views. The lens is in excellent condition , diagonal is original but is missing reticule eyepiece, though this can be made from a standard 1.25" eyepiece quite easily. This is a working piece of amateur astronomy history made by peter tuthill and would suit a c8 restoration or one of todays scopes.
Asking $100 ono postage extra
