Hello All, I just bought an old orange, 1970's fork mounted C8. I need a tripod for it. I have found a few original ones for sale. Perhaps some of you who have worked with these scopes know of a better support alignment option that I may search for? THANK YOU! Jeff

Frankly, the original "triangle" tripod from the 70s is about as good as you can get.
