Hi Gordon , this brings back memories , I know the scope , use to use one in my high school astronomy club in the 70's.
I thought they were 76mm or the old 3" f15 if I remember ?
Fantastic optics and solid engineering for those days low false colour at that Focal ratio and Astro Optical did sell them and a place in Brisbane no longer around call Audio Optics.
They weren't cheap then if my memory serves me right and were a premium scope.
I think they were available in 4 and 5" f15 as well.
They had guide scopes and sliding counter weights ect on some models and were white in colour.
They were quite large and bulky for there size as compared to the Chinese stuff around now , or at least that's how they looked to a stringy high school kid.
Man talk about flash backs.
