My first scope back in 1981 was a Vixen Refractor. I think it was 60mm or 80mm version with rack and pinion focuser. It was on a very stable wooden tripod with eyepiece accessory tray with flexible slow motion alt azimuth mount controls.

It was a great little refractor and I spend many hours from early evening till wee hours of the morning with my eye glued to the eyepiece :-)
