Very rare classic high-performing telescope set — Japanese craftsmanship at its best This beautiful optical tube assembly (OTA), mount, and tripod set exemplifies build quality of a bygone era before the wave of offshoring swept the optics industry. All main components of the set are entirely nihon sei (made in Japan); estimated date of manufacture, circa mid- to late 1990s. All painted components of this scope/mount/tripod set are in matching late 1990s-era white & green livery for a unified look. In addition to the OTA (with original objective cap) and tube rings, this complete set includes everything needed to get started viewing right away.
