Would anyone happen to know how to fairly price a Cave 6" f/4 R.F.T. on an Edmund medium duty equatorial mount (Stock Number 85,309, I believe...Mount; w/ pedestal; w/ clock drive)?
I am trying to help a lady whose husband has passed and really don't have any good reference point to work with. It has signed letters from Thomas Cave regarding the order from the original purchaser as well as all of the documentation (mount & telescope). The OTA is in excellent condition. I would rate the mount as very good, with the "standard" Edmund gray krinkle paint and clock drive. The telescope is attached to the cradle with two adjustable straps.
If anyone has knowledge of these instruments I would appreciate some advice.
Thank you!
