My 1970s Fullerscope

[markie]

Hi all, Just thought I'd share a couple of pics of my 8.5" 1970s Fullerscope, still get great views of the night sky and planets, steady as a rock,  all original but super heavy, worth it though. Had the original handbook once, but looked everywhere , still can't find it.

Looks in great condition Mark.

Is it f7.5? How long have you had it and are the optics original?

Hi Keith

Yes it is, it's all original optics, I've had for about 30yrs, I've taken a pic of some scratch marks on the back of the primary mirror when I had the mount out for cleaning the mirror, I couldn't quite make out what it said apart from what looks like  "A" 11 @ 25

I've posted a pic of it, you might hopefully  know what it means.
