I have a classic Carton brand 60mm refractor, about f/15, on factory EQ mount. This is an old, made-for-export Japanese refractor with amazingly good optics. Get a hybrid diagonal for about thirty bucks and you can use modern 1.25" eyepieces with it. Comes with no diagonal or eyepieces but otherwise ready to use. I cannot package or ship, you will have to come pick it up. Free to a good home, would be a terrific starter scope for an interested youth or a grab-and-go backyard scope for quick looks. Contact me off list if you want it, the first to come and get it will be the new owner. Did I say it was FREE? Thanks for your time.
Hi Chuck, I know someone who would really appreciate this telescope. Let me know if it is still available. Thanks, Stan Eriksen
