Hi Roger ..

AOS / AASC never made a cast aluminium cell for 12" scopes. The only production 12" were the 12" Dall Kirkham Cassegrains which had a plywood mirror cell .

Hope this helps .

I have a DK 12.5 :) they may not have made many 12" at $849.50 (1982). Even parts of one would be good

Thats very cheap for a 12" DK tube. I remember during Halley's comet 1986 they were charging $660 for a 10" F6 mirror.
