Mikey, you are to be recognized for showing such remarkable restraint.
I wouldn't have been able to do that.

Darrell.....I just didn't feel like I need it. I have no use for an altazimuth scope. Maybe I don't get it about a Pentax value. If it were a 50's or 60's in a wood box. Maybe I'm nuts. Guess I have enough scopes that will do it for me. I'm not in this stuff to buy low and sell high either. Some are....I just don't look at it that way I guess. It's probably that I don't know enough about these items.= to appreciate them.  Mike

The guy now has pics of that 10" Cave on his ad. It looks like a older Cave from the 60's.

Red-tube Odyssey 8 on SF Bay Area craigslist for $75. Includes an upgraded focuser. Great price...if I didn't already have one, I'd grab this.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for checking out MY scope so throughly! I caught that one last night and started the bidding, but I see I've already been outbid! sheesh, $45 doesn't buy much these days  Kinda young for my taste anyway. Oh well, plenty of time to rethink this one.

Looks more like an 8", unless that mount's bigger than I think it is.

I will offer to buy just the OTA. A Cave mount without it's pier and legs is pretty much usless to me.
My Meade Research grade mount should work fine with that Cave OTA.

You folks ask....hey how are the optics in this thing? Well I'll go ya' all one better. Here let me take 'em out and lay one on this nice rough wood grained box and the other half right over the edge of the one under it. See any scratches or dust? I'll put 'em back together after the rest of the photo shoot. Hope I can remember which goes which way! Thanks for lookin'!

Maybe some of you might recognize this. It is for sale at a yard sale this weekend. I know it is hard to be sure but I'm hoping someone here might have some insight.
Thanks in advance.

If the glass looks clear and not cracked (other than some "real estate" that can be cleaned off), should make a nice little scope. I like that box, if I got it I probably would modify its interior, add some dividers, padding and such.

Jerry, David:
Thanks for the replies. I'll see it tomorrow morning and know then. I have no idea what they will want for it or what it might be worth.
More later.
