I was strolling around a local pawnshop and this was sitting there. I hadn't given it much though till I saw these photos. It looked alot like the photos on Ad #211153.
The mount is almost identical (EQ, clamshell style), wooden storage box (dovetailed and quite nicely compartmentalized with felt linings), and refractor. The only name I could see was "Luxor; "77mm "910mm FL". It has 3 EP's, a diaganol (.965), another piece that sure resembled a 'filter wheel' but was for straight through viewing, and a screw on objective/dew shield. It was all white metal construction.
The store owner said the guy has disappeared and is going to put it out for sale. It is OLD!
Has anybody seen or heard anything about this?
It didn't look like a world class observatory scope, but a really fine looking antique. Thanks
