I was given a Model 114 years ago as a restore , and that I did as it's build was very solid . I was totally impressed and tried to do this lovely scope proud to give it a 2nd lease on life so ,,,,

I spent about 6 months on it and in the end it turned out to be a great little 60mm f15 refractor and the Alt/Az mount was solid and easy to use .

I donated it to the ' Northland Astro Society' in NZ as a piece for visitors to look at .

Unitron of the day were a bit of a mixed bag eg. some good and some exceptional optically but it was the mechanics where they really shone top shelf gear for sure .

Brian.
