While browsing the advertisements for the San Francisco, Calif. Craigslist, I happened to notice a listing for a very complete vintage Optica b/c 4-inch pedestal-mounted Newtonian reflector telescope. The ad was posted on November 24, 2008, and the address is:

(I am not the seller of the telescope.)

These are fairly hard to come by. As a fan of Optica b/c (and Royal Astro), I can say that these are fantastic optical and mechanical performers. Every classic telescope collector should have one of these in their collection.
