Coin Operated Scope on Ebay

[jjjnettie]

I'd be a shame to see it sold for scrap. Let's hope someone will buy and restore it.

Wow, that's amazing Jeanette.

I am soooooooooo tempted. How great would it be to own a piece of seaside memorabilia like that?

Hmmm....

OK - so does anyone know "warrandyte_gold", the winner of this piece of Melbourne's local history? It finally went for just over the $400 mark. Hope it's gone to an appreciative home. :thumbsup:

If the mechanism's are restorable, you could set it up for a dollar a go and be saving for your next eyepiece whilst viewing the stars.

Looks like a classic, hope it went to a good home

cheers
