: : I saw a Cave Astrola 12.5" for sale at this local telescope store. This scope can change from Newtonian to Cassegrain. The store owner say this scope is made during the 80's and mirror seems to in good shape but the tube looked worn. I was looking for information on this but couldn't find any. So does anyone have information on this type of scope or would you recommend me buying it? Thank you for your advise
: Hi Ted,
: The scope is probably from the mid 70's. I saw a Cave ad during this time in an old Sky & Telescope magazine and they had a "dual" scope shown in the ad. It was an 8" F4.5/F15 Dual. Do the store have the mount for this scope or is it just the optical tube? If you are not interested in the scope, please email me, as I might be interested.
: Thanks,

Sorry for taking so long to respond. The store's name is Stellar vision and the Tel # is 520 571 0877. The owner's name is Frank Lopez, great guy to work with. Last time I checked, he still have the scope.
