I just ran across a Celestron C8 Orange tube with all the original components as well as a couple extras in mint condition. I bought it on the spot as I haven’t seen one this clean and organized in awhile. I bought if from a younger fella who said he got it when his uncle passed on(uncle was the original owner). The serial number is 289097. The best I can figure from what I researched is this scope was made around 1975/76. Hoping maybe someone here may know a little more; appreciate any comments or suggestions. I took it out already and am just amazed at how nice this scope operates. Clear sharp images, buttery smooth focuser; minimal vibration with the original “locked triangle” tripod. Absolutely pleased with this purchase.
