Description
This group was started as a result of discussions on the Cloudy Nights Classic Telescope Forum. It has been started by the participating members of that forum in order to post and present, for public use files and links of interest to astronomers wishing to preserve and or restore classic telescopes. All links, Photos, Files, are welcome and greatly appreciated! Please be aware that there will be a need for organization all this information to make them more useful and accessible as we grow. Your help and advice is needed and will be implemented. Also I feel the need to say that I am not information Nazi, if you feel the need to post it we will not delete or impede your right to share it as long as it is tasteful and not rude Thank you (Caveman) Clint.

Mostly homebuilts, though one or two "classics" from the past 4 decades. I'll post pics soon! -Tim.
