Welcome to the RV-6 crowd! Looks like your newest addition is in better shape than mine. I acquired mine from a friend whose grandfather had his stashed in the garage for the past 30 odd years. The bakelite tube was cracked in a couple of spots, the focuser was seized up, mount was rusted, mud daubers and spiders had made home in the tube and the mirror coatings were nearly non-existent. To my amazement, the clock drive still worked! Had the mirrors recoated, cleaned up the focuser, tube and the rust, replaced the cork in the clutch and I'm now working on restoring the tube. Even in its present state, the scope is usable and delivers excellent images for being a spherical f/8 mirror. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
