Guess the telescope

Hi all,

Spotted this scope in the business section of the Advertiser
today.
I bet someone can identify this telescope.
I don't even recall what the article was about
(apologies to News Limited for blatant rip-off of image)

It's a Japanese made Mizar brand refractor, looks like around 80 or 90mm.

I would have said the whole photo came from a telescope catalogue in the 1960s.
(Oh, right, Adelaide 2008... Sorry).
