I would have jumped on that Parks 12.5" and Byers mount combo if it were local.

You should have seen mine before I restored it. It actually doesn't take that much work and that scope could be looking nearly good as new. I hope someone here gets it and posts pictures. Its too bad he is missing the eyepiece turret and colored eyepieces. Those are tough to find.

Definitely a lot of dings, dents and some damaged hardware. I wish he would have shown some pictures of the mount.....Hmmm wonder why not?
His Amart name is lxd55ar5 so he has other scopes and mounts.
If I didn't have so many scopes I would have probably contacted him by now!

The poster on Amart is a new user. Possibly they do not know the value of this particular scope?

Maybe this is one for our "Habsburg8" , Mr. Siple ??
But I think, he's collecting only first quality condition...
Kind regards, Michael

A small scope that gets used often is a better investment than a big scope that stays in the closet.
Unitrons, you spend more time looking at them than you do through them.

Nah, they too hairy...see Goliath.
Actually I did offer the zeinthstar and he responded with an email and the comment that he had an incredible amount of responses to his ad. I detailed my offer and closed with the comment that it was a very scarce instrument but that the condition was scary. If he replies again I will ask for pictures of the mount which apparently is motorized. I am all internally conflicted about this thing. I know the Williams is a good little scope and the optics of the Royal Astro are legendary but if the outside of that scope is that beat up, it makes me wonder about the guts.

Check out the finder scope in the picture..... sure looks like a long barlow with the diagonal stuck in it!
Wonder if the original finder is in the box or missing.....

I wish people who want to trade things would nevertheless list an asking price, for those who don't have (or want) something in trade.
More pictures would definitely be helpful, assuming the condition it's in could be offset by much of *anything* a pic could show.
Rare, but not so old that it wouldn't be best to restore rather than leave as is.

Should seem pretty obvious even to a neophyte that a little white telescope would fit in the bracket nicely. Go figger.
