This is a fresh restart of the older (and much longer) thread for posting ads that involve the sale of vintage/antique scopes.
A few reminders :
1) do not post your own ads or the ads of your friends. This is considered sale promotion in the open forums and this is a violation of the CN TOS. Please post such ads in the S&S forum or the CNC.
2) do not post photos from ads unless you have the permission of the person who took the photo. If you must have some reference to the photo in the post, then post a link to the photo, not the photo itself.
3) do not post the entire ad text (or large blocks of it) without permission from the author.
4) try to concentrate on the item for sale and not the seller.
5) Buyer beware - there are some scams floating around, so do your homework before pursuing any ad.
6) CN is in no way responsible for the content of these linked ads.
For reference purposes, here is a link to the original thread :

Thanks and clear skies!

Ken i had the same scope and just cut it into a small finder/guide scope. I am keeping the scope but i have the mount for it, if you want the mount,it is yours. Just pay for the shipping. I hate to see anyone kick themselves.

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.

Brian, pardon my refractor ignorance, but, I did'nt know you could just cut down the tube length like that. I figured you would'nt be able to focus. Can you just cut the tube to any length or are there rules to cut by? I have an old monolux and will take another look at it now. Thanks.

I am sorry for the confussion, it is a different lens with a shorter focal length. The original was 700mm fl this one is in the 350mm fl range. I hope you didn't cut your Monolux yet?

I'm not kicking myself too hard. I have a Criterion RV-8 on "Layaway" with a friend that I'm making payments on currently, so my extra funds need to go towards that.

Oh darn, that's why everything's a blur after I cut mine down. Just kidding. No confusion, I figured it was probably a lens change or some secret configuration I didnt know about. Thanks. Your new finder looks good.

Guys, don't laugh, but this:
60mm Towa
is exactly like the one I have. It is the best 60mm I have ever used. Refer to my recent "Shootout":

Hard to tell from the pic but it kinda looks like a Polaris mount.
