Older Longer Refractor

I am interested in buying a Refractor, or two. I'm not going to be too specific, because I don't want to limit the possibilities.

However, I will place some suggested criteria:
  1. For me, old is good.
  2. So is made somewhere beginning with J, or "U".
  3. I would be interested in 4" to 6" aperture. That's 100mm to 150mm.
  4. It would likely be an Achromatic, and the length would be F10-F15. (OK, those 6" do go down to F8).
  5. However, I'm also open to considering an Apochromatic, but probably at least F8, rather than today's modern shorter types.
  6. Price? Well I guess that very much depends on what it is, so I will leave that up to the seller.
Is there anyone out there that may have an older & longer Refractor they would like to sell?

John
