Hi Paul,

I have an early 1957 edition of the R.A.S.C. handbook (and others). On the back cover, Unitron advertises its "large" refractors. They are in the three-to-six inch diameter range. As Jess pointed out--not so today.

These scopes were very well thought of. I mean, in those days, who could afford $5k and up for a four-inch? Translate that into today's dollars! They sure were impressive, though.

Best regards,
Dave.
