Great topic Stefan!
My first scope was a Broadhurst, Clarkson and Fuller 8 3/4" reflector on a heavy, cast iron mount. It had a VW Beetle wiper motor as the RA drive!
My amazing mum and dad paid 400 quid for it in 1984!
I will never forget the generosity of that buy. I spent hours with it in north Lancashire. It had a fantastic optics but the mount wasn't flash. It is still in their garage wrapped up.
Telescope manufacture has come on leaps and bounds in a short space of time.
