I also purchased my first scope as a teenager. Well my parents bought it, but it was in about 1989. It was a 5" Vixen Newtonian, on a GE mount. Had a slide focuser, which was pretty unusual. That was from the Melbourne store when they were in the Bourke Street, in a little mall. 200 Bourke Street I think from memory. Some others may remember the shop. Used to love going there and just looking, and I still have a picture in my head of the shop.
A bit sad, and has brought back some memories.
