Can anyone help me identify this diagonal?

It is from a C-8 and screws onto the back of the OTA. It has two screw on adapters, one for a 2" visual back and one for a 1 1/4" visual back or other accessories. It is also collimatable...

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Jack

To me it looks like an older 2" diagonal offered by Celestron in the mid 80's. It has the "plumbing material" look to it that the Celestrons had.

Jack that looks like the diagonal that Celestron used to provide with their C14's back in the early days (Orange tubes).
