Coin Operated Scope on Ebay
I'd be a shame to see it sold for scrap. Let's hope someone will buy and restore it.

OK - so does anyone know "warrandyte_gold", the winner of this piece of Melbourne's local history? It finally went for just over the $400 mark. Hope it's gone to an appreciative home.

If the mechanism's are restorable, you could set it up for a dollar a go and be saving for your next eyepiece whilst viewing the stars.

Looks like a classic, hope it went to a good home

cheers
