Dear Jurgen,
Thank you for the detailed deskription of the purchage and 'review' of this vintage Bausch & Lomb 8 inch SCT. It was good to hear that everything went well, including shipping to the United Kingdom This because I faced serious problems when shipping a rare Mizar OTA to Thailand; it was completely destroyed!
Enjoy this unique B&L,
Greetings from The Netherlands,
Best,
Vincent
