hi all,
its been a exciting week for me as i picked up 3 telescopes
and a 1950's 140 mount with rare worm drive.
i noticed the worm right away and dated it to early 50's
in unitron catalog.
i also let my goto go to a collector that will cherish it more than i will.
first i bought a unitron 114 with eyepieces and unihex
on the bay. this one i took to 300x and it has a great
lens in it.
next i bought a 50's unitron 140 mount (bay also)that has rare worm gear. boy this thing was dirty but it is cleaning up real nice.
not finished with it yet as it just came in mail today.
then a while back i was browsing Topeka Ks. CL
and came across a unitron 140. i left a message
with owner then forgot about it because i did not hear
back from till last week.
he agreed to ship it to me and it came ups today also.
its dirty and needs some cleanup but it is complete.
and the other day i picked up a very nice celestron c8
locally on CL the other day.(there is a post in Cats section)
optics on that one are real nice and have not a speck of dust that i can see.
well, here are a bunch of pictures for those that would like to take a look.
