Hi everyone,

It's great to see a group like this. I've owned a few classic
instruments over the years. My first real scope was a research Meade
8 inch. Since then I've owned (or own) a Unitron 4 inch (160), Cave
12.5 F-5, Astro-Physics 6 inch F-12, Coulter 12.5 classical
cassegrain, Cave 10 inch DK, and a few smaller Unitrons.

Adrian College had a GOTO 6 inch (like in the photo) that I
reconditioned along with Albion College's 8.25 inch F-16 Clarke.
Love the old stuff, classic adverts, and performance from the long F-
ratios.

I live in Michigan near Detroit and plan on going to the Great Lakes
Star Gaze this year.

See my website : www.vintagejukes.com

Kind regards,

Jim Ehlers
