Thanks

That's great guys,

It well looks like the twenty five year old may be correct.
Just looking at the bluebook page and the images look right for the time.

Also I should have mentioned the focuser is my addition just recently.
The condition is excellent for the age and the serial label even still has its protective clear plastic cover stuck on it.

If you look at the front of the scope you can see the corrector lens has been cleaned a few times as the silver is worn from the lettering around the inside edges so that indicates a bit of use but well looked after use.

I had a look at the mounting points and there are a couple of screws missing one side so it could have been on a fork originally, don't know there though.

I think I will send Meade a letter with the details and see what they have to say about it.

So thanks again guys good work.

Nico.

See the missing screws but no witness marks to show like it had anything mounted there???
