Not surprising

A lot of the Tasco reflectors sold in the 80's were made by Vixen in Japan, as were a lot of the Celestron reflectors. Change the mount and focuser, stick in a decent eyepiece and they are a very good telescope.

PS: Vixen and Towa Optical (Japan) produced a lot of optics for Tasco in the late 1970's and 1980's. These products are of very good quality, including some of the small refractors, reflectors and binoculars.
