Aerolite 863 60 X 800. Box looks in good shape. Just bought new computer so I don't think I can sneak this past CFO.

Ok folks, I stopped by the sellers place to examine the scope as it is near my workplace. Yes, it is a Yamatar 60/900. With the lens (which was clean) screwed into the tube, it will not fit in the case. Tube has a few dents. Comes with a various mix of eyepieces. The erector prism assembly is in many parts. Focuser is rough. Big thing is the declination axis is bent slightly below the weight. You can see it from the picture. BTW, the scope was originally inspected by the Japanese Telescope Society. Hope this examination helps!

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.

Thanks for the info. That bent shaft could really be a problem and is visible in the picture.
Quite an interesting find, but the condition is probably best for someone who can pick it up and avoid the shipping cost.

When the scope's eyepiece end is aiming at the sky, I generally take them at their word.

Got it! 
The bad news: The primary has substantial degradation to the coatings and will have to be re-coated. No other damage noted on the mirror.
As for the rest, it's in pretty good shape for a 40+ year old scope. A reasonable number of scratches but no dents in the metal tube. Functioning focuser with attached prism diagonal. Some surface rust on the mount...When I have some more time, I'll post some pictures in another thread
