Historical ads
Posted by Nico Taelman on 11/7/2003 1:11:22 AM

Hi guys, I'm looking for some kind of resource for historical advertisements on telescopic equipment. In particular I would like to find ads of the Meade 8" f4 schmidt-newton; the older model with fork mount (MTS-SN8). I bought mine used several years ago and would like to see the original ads, maybe reviews, opinians and pictures from other users,etc.
Thanks
Nico

Yes! That's the one..I have the 8" f4 model. I'd be real happy to see any scans of ads if you have informations from magazines..
Thank you
Nico

I'm not at all pleased with telescopebluebook - the image of the orange C5 is of mine, I took the photo, and it was used without permission or credit.

One wonders what other info might have been pilfered.

I thought I saw a site once that had historical ads. It may have been Celestron. I will look for it and post the URL if I find it.
