Thanks for your reply John.
Interestingly and lucky enough, my 1st scope ($80 i think on ebay) was and still is a Towa - . A 4.5 inch Scmidt Newt. The quality of this scope after some scary amount of hours cleaning and collimating is truly impressive, including the EQ2 mount.
Most certainly a showpiece looking item - in this house at least.
