If you want the pronto for nostalgia - then sure - why not - but for optics and actually looking around many of the mass produced FPL-53 scopes these days will give a better view. If you want an old scope that is something special especially in optics then "try" and get an old real fluorite scope like an old Tak/Vixen or a TV Genesis

Your pretty much on the " ball " there Profiler .... the pronto for
nostalgia - then sure - why not -..
Wanted to know if they were worth their " salt " before parting with the cash or a waste of time.
Many thanks for your comment
