I am now the proud owner of an old B&C 3" Starboy. Unfortunately it was the scope only, all the other parts have been lost over the years.

It's looking slightly sorry but optics were cleaned up a bit and look good, can't get the lens cell out to clean the inside though. There's a little dent but being at the focuser end is nothing to worry about and overall I'm pleased with it and really just couldn't say no at £30.

Great find. I think I would be tempted to remove all the damage outer coating, then get to work with the Brasso.

Tempting idea but I hate polishing brass. 😂
