Clear Skies Ken.
Polarex/Unitron 1.25" adaptors could be purchased as an accessory, the simplest being the 0.96"/1.25" shown in the picture along with the reversible adaptor usually found on the 3", 4", 5" & 6" models as standard. Rotary eyepiece selectors (Unihex as known in the US) came in three versions ; Model A - 5 x 0.96" & 1 x 1.25", Model B (shown in pic) - 6 x 1.25" and the Super Rotary Selector - 4 x 0.96", 1 x 1.25" & 1 x 2". 1.25" prism diagonals could also be purchased. The eyepieces were a friction fit in the holders and posed no real problems but some of the current 1.25" TV eyepieces are probably a bit heavy to stay put at least on the eq scopes.
