Disassemble an old Vixen 60mm refractor lens cell?

Posted By William Duckworth

Early 1970s 60mm f 910 white tube refractor.
I can't figure how the dew shield is attached. Is there a circlip hiding somewhere? It sure doesn't unscrew and it doesn't seem to be a press fit.I would greatly appreciate any info on how these are put together, particularly if you've ever actually taken the objective assembly apart. Thanks

Do you have one? How does it perform? I've been offered one and I have a need for a "big aperture" very portable scope. Any first hand experience opinions/info is welcome. Thanks.
