Over the weekend I went on a drive with a couple of friends and picked up a complete Cave 12.5" Observatory scope. It was like a time capsule and have all of the original paperwork, eyepieces, and was in excellent (though a bit dirty/dusty) shape. I am going to clean it up and get a cart made to allow moving it in and out of the garage and look forward to some great views!
