Hi Guys
Found locally some older but solidly made gear which I would like to identify.
Came with a set of unitron EPs , focuser etc. If someone can help ID these I would be grateful
thanks

well its all great stuff! the brass bits , no idea, there is a Unitron Super focuser, cant see any intended size so perhaps sold by Astro Optical in Sydney for their Newts (let me know if you wantt o part with that) the Alt Az is Unitron an early one, there is a variation of the Unihex (multi eyepiece) dont know which that is, there is a clock drive for a 100mm Unitron, the GEM you can measure the size of its intended OTA, Vixen OTA whats size is it?

The last box looks like it may contain some old RAS threaded parts...
The eyepiece box is VERY similar to the one I made/ had back in the early 1960's. That was pretty much the standard layout and design of the time.

Thanks Guys
The mount looks like it may have been for a 100 mm refractor - theres a second cradle ring set for that also.
The Vixen is a R150 with sliding focuser - not sure how complete it is.
