To find a specific topic, it is easier to use the search function! But here are the older stories: those telescopes currently advertised on sale elsewhere are noted in red – the rest are available, make a reasonable offer! Please enquire about any you would like to consider purchasing. While some are quoted as being worth a lot of money, in the descriptions, most are being sold for under £200, and as low as £50. It is true that these described on the web are the more interesting, and more expensive examples, typically – the others not yet described are probably cheaper.
Any stories marked (N/A) do not feature telescopes for sale: it could also be that the article, or the telescope described, relates to something that is not held in the collection, or is owned by a third party.
For the future, another 200 telescopes have yet to be described, 68 done so far….
