Just scanning the ebay scopes. How about this beauty? Starting bid $2,500.
The seller says:- "
The controls and optical performance are in very good operating condition except that the refecting disc at the top of the cylinder is missing."
Yes, I think the absence of the objective lens of a refractor might devalue it a little.
