I'm close to winding up the restoration of the 5.25" John Byrne scope & mount. Just a few small details and that's about it.

Wow! Very very nice, Dave! This is every bit as beautiful as the Alvan Clarks a friend of mine has restored. Something sexy about all of the bright brass! They don't make 'em like that any more! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! What type of finish did you use on the tripod?
