Hi Steve,
to IIS.
It's good to have another Unitron/Polarex lover in the forum.
I used to live in Artarmon and make regular visits as a young teenager to astro-optical in the late 60's early 70's.
I bought a Unitron 114 in 1970, I still have it though I converted it to 1 1/4".The views through it are still great.
Back in 2000, I came across a Polarex 4" alt az. It needed a bit of TLC, but after a few weeks of work it looked (and still is) brand new.
It took over as my main workhorse from my 2.4".
Earlier this year I succumed to Aperture fever and bought a Meade Lightbridge 12".
I don't use the refractors much any more, but they still take pride in my house as works of art.
Sorry Zane, the refractor will not be coming down just the 12" LB. Cheers, John.
