That's cool --- statuesque. That's how I came across Igora back in my formative years.    Tom

Have her number? Well, it's rumored that the old folks home doesn't let her go out on the town or date anymore.

My guess is that it's just a large 72mm or 80mm finder. They were probably trying to do a spin-off from one of the old Unitron ads that always showed multiple scopes...make it look impressive and show how much weight a Byers 812 mount could handle.
