That's my first telescope in the middle!
I got that little Tasco 3T for Xmas in the 70's and loved it. I always wished it was the larger 4.5" model, but the 3" was an enormous stretch for my parents financially so I had to make do; It was UKP100 back then.
A lot of folk say that these little toy instruments are a waste of money but I would disagree. Even with this diminutive instrument I could see detail on the planets - GRS and Cassini division were no problem, one or two galaxies and of course the great Orion nebula. The moon was fabulous.
Maybe I have over compensated with my scope collection in middle age, but I still cherish this little fella
Oh, and amazingly, 40 years later the coatings are still good
