Mike, if it isn't too rude to ask, how much would it have cost when new.

It is a ton of cash, but actually seems quite reasonable compared to some other gear. If I had a permanent setup I'd be tempted to live off frozen peas for the rest of the year.
Is it the air-spaced FPL-51?
I believe these scopes were made around 1991. When I was buying my 130EDT the AP catalogue listed this model and showed it on the Vixen Atlux mount. If I recall correctly the price was around $4000 - almost twice what I was apying for my 130. I still have the catalogue at home, but not available to me now as I am in Whyalla.
