Hi Mary,
I assume this is a 4 1.2 inch refractor - not a reflector. Is that right? Is the optical system intact? If it is, I'll buy it. I can pick up.

Seems even Meade aren't sure if it is refracting or reflecting?

Hmmm ! - not as much thought required as that ! The first page is headed "Refracting Telescope", - but goes on to refer to it as a reflecting telescope in the first sentence of the text

Cheers,
