Polarex Unitron 3" Equatorial Refractor

EOI at this stage to see if anybody is interested in acquiring this particular very collectable 3" achromat 131 series. It is a 1962 model and I am the second owner and was restored around 10 years ago by me. It comes with the six piece rotary selector (Unihex) and full complement of eyepieces, dual eyepiece diagonal (Duetron), rare synchronous RA motor drive and other standard accessories. There are a few small chips and scratches on the tube and the objective lens has coating marks consistent with its 50 years of use. I am thinking around $1600. Very useable or admire it in your lounge room. Pics to follow.
