Classic Telescopes from the 1970s and 1980s

Hi,

As a former owner of a Cave Astrola 8" F6 Newtonian, which I purchased whilst visiting the US in 1978, and unfortunately had to sell in 1984, I have a nostalgic desire to see if such classic telescopes are available. Either one of the Cave Newtonians, or a Starliner Newtonian would be great, or a classic Orange Tube Celestron.

How much would these sorts of telescopes cost these days, and where can one buy them?

I live in the UK, so if anyone knows of whether or not they are sold there, that would be helpful.

Many thanks,

Malcolm

Malcolm, is that a 'Trick' question? Not trying to be funny but, you just posted that on AstroMart Classified Forums. Each of the scopes you mentioned as well as many other older scopes like Unitron, Southern Pacific Instruments, and such are sold here on AM all the time. Some are for sale right now. Not sure why you would ask a question like that on this website.
