This is "Classic!" if not "classic".

Buying this scope is easy, but delivery, not so much.

A "Stemmed Caesarian Telescope" is a rare find indeed.

I love those caesarian telescopes. A friend of mine had a caesarian section, but I don't think a telescope popped out..

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.

Holy Brian, you are quick on the draw for these things. You posted 1 minute after it was posted. You must have everything pushed to your BlackBerry or something.
