If they are the smaller units standard with Tasco gear in the 80s to early 90s I found mine weren't great quality (especially the 4mm which I'd still have here, heaven knows why, all of the original eyepieces I'd have because I replaced them with much higher quality stuff and eventually gave them to a sister with a small scope with the original Tasco 80mm refractors focuser fitted).
I convinced a friend to buy a cheap, used GSO set of eyepieces some time ago and must admit they are amazing quality.

Thanks for the reply
Yep woke up one Sunday and immediately got out of bed and jumped on the deal. Originally was thinking it was a typo and missing a zero, but no it was $20. I always wanted a goto.
Your absolutely correct my old tasco gear is .96" when I was a kid I would spend between 2 hours to 4 hours a session with my old tasco.. I thought it was pretty good back then.. so anything better is a plus.
I was thinking of picking up the SVBony Red line set or maybe Gold line along with SVBony diagonal. Seems like best bang for buck to start out again. Was a little worried about kidney beaning effects reported on forums. I'll check out GSO prices as well.
