Beware - the Unitron binoculars of today are very different than the old Unitron scopes that are so collectible now.
Judging from the specifications on Unitron's website (and I exchanged a few emails with one their reps), I would suggest that Unitron giant binocs are little if any different than your typical Chinese import giant.
Clear dark skies...

Hi Paul,
I have an early 1957 edition of the R.A.S.C. handbook (and others). On the back cover, Unitron advertises its "large" refractors. They are in the three-to-six inch diameter range. As Jess pointed out--not so today.
These scopes were very well thought of. I mean, in those days, who could afford $5k and up for a four-inch? Translate that into today's dollars! They sure were impressive, though.
Best regards,
Dave.
