Here is a picture of my scope from the early 80´s and a picture from a S&T ad of that time. Original colour of the mount and the upper part of the column was orange, the lower parts black. Actually, the mount is in state of refurbishment. Can you please show me more pictures of the joint of the mount to the steel column and the dec. drive?
