I've got a relic - a 90mm Telsi refractor. My brother found it demolishing a house. Well, it was in the house - not demolishing it. I think it was made in the late 50's or early 60's. It is very heavy duty, built like a rock, weighs a lot for it's size. Except the tripod is a ancient wooden piece of junk, very rickety. Performance is very good.

I had a 10" LX6 with a bunch of aftermarket bells & whistles - but sold it to pay for my 1st skydiving rig.
