tuckstar Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) My pretty little Prinz 660, circle K, complete with all original bits and bobs, even the instruction manual. From what I can gather its from some where between 1974 and 1979. Not had first light yet but looking forward to seeing what it can do.

philjay Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Heyhey you got it then Andy, well done. They are nice scopes, I had one awhile back and made a 1.25" adapter and knocked out the draw tube baffles and it gave sterling views with modern 1.25" eyepieces Get some tube rings knocked up and fit it on a modern mount as the original is only really good for display, very wobbly indeed. I don't know how I used to put up with those mounts when I were a lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thanks Phil, yes the tripod does seem to of had a few to many bevies, but the mount itself seem quite sturdy. Managed to get it for £60 and its in good nick. Its still even got the key for the box! Im sure well have a good old chat about it next time were at a darksite.

Guest Tweedledum Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) That looks jolly nice Andy. I guess a few of us can relate to a scope of that vintage. Edited August 9, 2013 by Tweedledum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I know this could be classed as astroporn, but, my girls together while swmbo is not about. Just need to find a towa, a unitron, and a carton and the sets complete. Well maybe a telementor 1would be nice. Of course these would come at a cost, my marriage and a new house to keep them in but there just minor things!!! ;-) Edited August 9, 2013 by tuckstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
