Boy a few of us sure drooled over this scope in that same window! Me in the early 70s with my brother David. Caught a train from the Western Suburbs and walked all the way from the station. I had a feeling there was a Monty there?
I actually ended up owning a 4inch eq model in around 1995, picked it up for $300 from a guy who bought it 20 years earlier and had it under his bed all that time. He was moving back to UK - only had a few days left in OZ and just wanted it gone or was (and I am serious) going to the dump! I then on sold it a few years later and have kicked myself ever since. Came "that close" to buying this one. Good buy Kev.
