Vintage Refractors

Taking offers on the following:

SOLD TASCO 6T - altazimuth table mount 50mm refractor, F12 no box.
SOLD TASCO 66T - altazimuth tripod mounted 50mm refractor, F12 no box
SOLD TASCO 7TE-0 - altazimuth tripod mounted 60mm refractor, w/- original cardboard box
SOLD ATCO (ROYAL ASTRO) - equatorial mounted 76mm refractor, w/- original wooden box.

The 6T and 66TE are amazing little scopes and punch well above their weight. The 7TE-0 was made by the precursor to Vixen and has excellent optics. The ATCO is a beautiful bit of engineering but the draw tube is out of alignment with respect to the optics.


See this site for lots of interesting info: http://geogdata.csun.edu/~voltaire/classics/

Picture is of the Atco, others on request
