WANTED: Long Focal Length Refractor

Anyone with small aperture refractors collecting dust?
I would like to get a 60mm to 80mm refractor with a focal ratio of more than 4 times the aperture inches.

ie...
60mm - more than F9.4
70mm - more than F11
80mm - more than F12.6

Prefer greater than F15.

I'm not in a hurry but the IIS star party would be a good first light night...

I have a very nice refractor with 60mm aperture x 700mm focal length (i.e. f11.7). Made in Japan long ago with metal everything from focuser knob to dew shield. I love it though never use it, esp. since I got my 80mm ED. I was going to leave it at home, but I'll bring it to Star Camp if anyone wants to check it out.

That sounds good. All I'm bringing to the star camp are EP's so it would be good to check the scope out.
