Older C8's and C11's information wanted

Does anyone know a good url for some fact finding information on older Celestron SCT ota's. I'm looking for information on a gray C8 and a black C11.

Thanks, Don

Don,

Uncle Rod Mollise is a good source. His used SCT guide at :
http://skywatch.brainiac.com/sct-user/usedSCT.PDF is a good source of information on the different models.

As for some disassembly and other information:
http://ngc1514.com/Celestron/celestron.htm
Has a C-8 dissassembly. This is the Orange Tube model, but the optic tube hasn't changed significantly between models. The drive bases have differed.

As for C-11's, look at these pages:
