A 70's model reflector telescope. - a photo on Flickriver

A reflector / mirror telescope D=114mm / F=900mm (metric) from the brand Tasco from Japan. I bought this 70's model telescope a few days ago, because of feelings of nostalgia. In 1990 i bought this model telescope (with the brand Pollux), but i have to sell it in 1995 due to circumstances. So, that big mistake i made in 1995, is now corrected! ( Thnx ;) ). After a few days of restoration, cleanings and mirror adjustments, it's back in business again.

Edit (3 october 2020): After a deep research, it turns out that this model ( Tasco, model 11TE-5 ) is from 1960.

* Edit 18-January-2021 - After sorting some boxes with magazines and books, I found the original user / instruction manual of the Tasco / Pollux telescope. It can be found here: tomhardeveld.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-user-manual-of-114m...

My blog about the Tasco telescope (including a full restoration of this telescope)
