This little Tasco on Ebay. I have a very similar one branded as a Jason (same but with a two arm fork) and paid $50 for it. That was a reasonable price. It's a Bird-Jones Newtonian, so not a great performer, and at 76mm apperture, even notter a great performer!

Cheers,

Seems a hefty price he paid for it originally, although it looks the part, it certainly isn't worth the price he is asking.

One can only imagine how horribly springy that mount/tripod setup is.

I sure hope the buyer isn't browsing this thread. he'd feel an inch big right about now

Don't sniff. Read the box. Those Rand McNally maps are a classic. (They might also be worth a penny or two these days.)

And a mount that converts easily from EQ to Alt-az!
