I have recently donated my Unitron telescopes (and most of my 0.96" EPs) to nearby schools and have a few useful parts left over.
The adaptor is from the erecting prism that was supplied with a Carlton 60mm F7 refractor. The sleeve holding 0.96" EPs on Unitrons can be unscrewed and this adaptor will screw directly on in lieu. The attached images show the process in reverse order. The part for sale is only shown in the first two images.
Using this adaptor allowed me to use quality star diagonal and 1.25" EPs with my Unitrons. The adaptor may also replace the sleeve in Unitron star diagonals giving a second option to allow the use of 1.25" EPs.
The only concern is that the light path through the adaptor narrows to about 20mm and this restricts the usefulness of lower-powered EPs.
$39 posted anywhere in Aus.
