Unitron 8x50mm finderscope

This is an old-school Unitron finder I purchased new in about 1988 or so from Astro-Optical Supplies.
It is 8x50mm, has original crosshair eyepiece, right angle (non-corrected image) and the rear twist focuser - which is so much nicer than the process for modern Chinese-made examples.
It has sat in storage from about 1990 until now.
The optics are perfect and unblemished.
There are a couple of small blemishes on the tube - it adds character . One of the crosshairs is sitting a little crooked but is unbroken and I imagined could be retensioned, but not by a clumsy oaf like me who would undoubtably break it. There is no mount for it.
A chance to snap up a quality little telescope and a little bit of history!
Yours for $90, plus postage.
