I think it might be at least 34 years old !! I found " The Journal " of the Astronomical Society of Victoria in the box with the telescope. It is dated October 1974 !
I don't know what happened to the original mount, probably lost long time ago... By Galileo himself maybe, the telescope is old enough ...
There is another magazine ( also came with the scope) that describes how to make a mount.
Interesting thing is that there is no mention of Dobson mount, probably wasn't invented when the magazine was printed.
