Ken,
I found your presentation delightful - mainly because I owned one of these wonderful little 'scopes; got it as a Christmas present in 1980.
This thing was beyond reproach; for as small as it was it yielded wonderful views. No problems with the optics (and those RKEs are great EPs)! And that ingenious globe mount was a joy (we used to call the 'scope 'The Big Red Hair Dryer').
You are fortunate to have one of the earlier, high-quality versions. I never knew that the primary was supported by foam! If I still had mine I'd have found your posts invaluable.
Many thanks for sharing your experiences with us! 
Mike Rapchak Jr.
