I have an old Manon Telescope, circa late 60s. Search for Item 2071749643 on Craigslist. Is $125 a fair value? Should I ask for more or less? It needs a good cleaning, probably an oiling, but everthing seems to work. With all the original parts, including all the lenses. The label on the focuser reads: "Shrine Manon Astronomical Telescope, D=60m/m F=700m/m APL Japan".

Moving this to Classics, where it's a better fit.

norm1, welcome to CN's! I'll leave it to others here to help you establish its value. However, it does appear that the Manon's optical tube is mounted backwards on its yoke. You might want to fix that before listing.
