Craigslist, eBay and other vintage scope ads

This is a continuation of the previous thread, which is located here :

Previous ad thread

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.

Just picked up a Tasco 12TE 60mm refractor that was posted on Chicago Craigslist for $50....had to sneak it in the house... Pretty good shape, but needs some cleaning, brand new condition...I don't think so!

Go Chas Go! You've been looking for one for awhile. Tell em, the decimal place is wrong and should be $200.

Good luck.

If I'm not mistaken, you can buy a new D&G objective for about the same money.

It was priced at $6000.

You have a seller who thinks it is gold...I would walk the other direction.

Both the owner of the Cave is a wee bit off, me thinks! Off his rocker!

Those Jaegers lenses are very, very good! Also, there aren't too many out there to be had. I have had several and still have one and won't sell it unless I'm on the verge of living under a bridge! All things considered, that may not be too bad for an unused lens. Yes, D&G makes a very good lens. Quite comparable, really. Still, I'd put my Jaegers up against one of Barry's lenses any day. It would be a darned close contest, probably a tie. If one could get this lens for about $800.00 I'd jump on it. I'm just not in the market for it.

Steve, you are the Giant Lens Jaegers expert so this is a question for you and not a statement. Is there a difference between the old Jaegers, and the new stock Jaegers lens? Did any survive the fire? And the new stock lens are they from the original Japanese company they use to buy from or Chinese company? It would be nice to find out before buying, the ad says thr fire was 18yrs ago yet he says the lens is 15yrs-20yrs old and bought 13yrs ago from original owner, i am sure the lens is nice either way but is there a difference? I am not trying to shy anyone away from the lens i just want to protect all here from over spending. On the other hand if it is from before the fire it is a rare and great find. Basically ask questions and be sure of what you are purchasing.

I'd like to know the answer to that question, too. I've never seen a new Jaegers lens, and would love to hear if anyone has one or looked through one.

I have 3 6" Jaegers lenses. An f/5 that a late friend of mine built into a nice OTA; an f/10 that I built an OTA for about 10 years ago; and an f/15 that I have yet to complete an OTA for.

All three of these were alleged to be early 60's vintage. The f/10 has some discoloration on the coatings, but is a great visual planetary and visual/imaging DSO performer (it does great with planetary imaging if I shoot monochrome). The f/15 has a small chip at one edge. It's in a non-factory cell, and I suspect someone tightened the retaining ring too much. The chip is colored out with a black felt marker. I was told it's never been in a scope. It's very clean, too.
