Colin,

Have you got the whole telescope + box or just the OTA? I owned one of these Royal Astro 3" F16 refractors back when I was very young. I think I bought it in 1969, a used scope from the "Amateur Astronomers Supply Company" in Crow Nest. At that time new scopes were $195 but I paid $125 for a used scope trading in my 3" reflector. The mount was quite a nice affair being able to used in Alt/Az or equatorial form. Also the scope had a draw tube focuser but I am not sure if yours has one, perhaps being modified over the years.
