I was one of those boys drooling over this scope in Astro Optical back around 1969/1970. They had one in their window at Clarke Lane Crows Nest. It was so big, I would try to spot it down Hume street (which runs off the highway to the left) as I passed it on the bus. It dominated the front window. I wonder if this one is that very scope?
