I have a super c8+ w/starbright from 1985 (if the date in the sort-of-manuals wasn't printed for a long time.)

It's not white or orange.

There's also a quartz clock drive and a "hand box" with all connections.

Where does this fit in the geneology?

Thanks (and I hope I can find your answers.

I know there have been tremendous swings in quality through the years.

I have a late '80s Super C8 with Starbrite and I'm wondering how this "Japan" scope compares to the current "far-east-country-that-will-remain-nameless" versions.

Do the current coating/glass enhancements make the new models better?

I use mine with a 17mm Type 4 Nagler most of the time.

Thanks.
