Tasco 76.2mm Classic Achromatic Refractor.
F15.2 gave a 1200 mm focal length. Estimated time of manufacture: the 1960s. Serial Number 770347. Originally using .965 accessories, but adapted by me to standard 1.25 inch. This had crisp optics and a pretty decent mount-- overall, the scope and mount were perhaps 85% as good as a comparable Unitron model of the era. This small Tasco gave most of the aesthetic satisfaction of a fine classic long-focus refractor!
