Hi Gordon,
Sorry I can't help with the Unitron but yes, funny about flashbacks. You just gave me one Gordon, when you mentioned Tasco.
My first telescope 20 years ago was home-made from 6" PVC sewerage pipe, rifle scope as a finder and galvanised plumbing pipes for the Eq mount, but I cheated and used a ready made TASCO 4 1/4" mirror.
I must have fluked a miracle because that mirror gave me absolutely magnificent views. Everything was crisp. Other members at the society where amazed!! and they had Meades, Celestrons etc. The mirror even had ozydization craze creeping over about 5% of the surface!
To top that off, I was using K Mart 'Huygens'!!!! Miracles never cease.
I have never seen a Tasco mirror that is any good since then, and Huygens speak for themselves.
As crappy as that scope was, I would love to have it back.
Ahhh, the memories.
