Do you remember, the 6" Unitron Photo Equatorial at the front of the shop, taking pride of place. The focal length was 2000mm, it had a 10x40mm finder + a 60mmx 700mm guidescope + many, many other accesories..too many to mention here.
It stood from the bottom of the pier to the middle of the tube at 2.2 metres!!
And it all went for (in 1970)
for $6000!!!
You could buy a Falcon or Holden for just over $3000 at the time!!
But......boy o boy, that 6" made you feel like you owned the Hale 200"
