This summer obtained an alum tube for my Cave 10" F6 Mirror. The mirror is dated 3-17-78, M-783387. My sec is 2.14". My eyepieces in use are the ones I bought in 1960 at Coast Inst. in Long Beach,. CA. They are identical to the ones shown in Lew's Coast website.
Obtained the correct legs from Bob this summer and now need to find gear/motor setup's for each of the 2" shafts.

Steve,
When do I get to come over, see it, look thru it and take pictures of it?
It's a beaut and shows those who never heard of a Treckerscope or Galaxy by Coast Instrument, Inc. what a fine Newtonian looks like. The mount is from 1960 or 1961.

That is a beaut.
Definitely not grab-n-go.
But worth the pain of setup, no doubt.
