For Steve and other Dynascope Seekers: I have never found a good way! I can only speak for my area, central NY, where it is cloudy a lot. I suspect scopes are...

My RV-6 was purchased at a garage sale. It had no eyepieces, and someone had sprayed everything except the tube in gray primer. Focuser was frozen by rust,...

Steve, Congratulations on your find. They just don't show up at yard sales around here. If the finder is original, and not damaged, I would be inclined to keep...
Hi everyone, I finally got my RV-6's second refurbishing completed yesterday (April 1, hope that's not a bad omen) and have posted some pictures of my pride...

Bob, I have a Tasco #15TEA, 76.2 X 1200 (F/15.7) scope. Do you know if this is similar to your #15TE-5 in general features and vintage? I am not that familiar...
The last time I was in to our local telescope dealer, he had a Criterion 8x50 right angle finder for sale. I could check and take some pics if someone is after...
Dear John: I'm not sure. But you might find the info on page 179 of the March 1969 issue of Sky and Telescope. I must correct myself, the 15TE-5 is f/15.7, not...
Hello Everyone, This was a very starrynight here in the big city of Monterrey, Mx. With my RV-6 just outside, the moon on firstquart and my new Celestron 5...

Any excuse is good. It's very clear here tonight in Vancouver BC. One could make some "serious astronomical observations" this eve! I'm hoisting a Heineken in...
I just inherited a Dynascope. My Great Uncle bought it in 1961. I think the lens is about 10 inches. He kept it in perfect shape. It still has everything with...
There should be a name plate on it near the focuser, or perhaps elsewhere that says either: "RV-6", "RV-8", or more! Either way, they are wonderful scopes to...
Thanks Bob. The tube is grey. bob smart <bobsmartcaca@...> wrote: What colour is it the tube, white or grey? You meant mirror when you wrote lens right?...
Your welcome Tina Tuttle. If it's an 8inch Dynascope it's worth up to $1000.00. If it's a 10 inch it's worth up to $1500.00 You have a very nice telescope! Do...
Bob, The Dynascope is in a special building designed just for it. Where the roof slides open and there a different colored lights to make veiwing easier. Also...

... Peter: You're right about the RV-6, I was fooled by the RV-8 finder! I should read things more carefully. I knew it wasn't a dynamax as the post stated the...
Tina, Have you measured the tube diameter? That may give a clue if the telescope is missing the small metal id tag. I can't tell a telescope size by color...
A buddy just gave me his not-very-well maintained RV-6 for my son to use. However, there are a couple of problems: 1. The focus knob gear is badly stripped and...
The RV-6 optics are considered by many to be excellent. You've got a great classic scope! Someone here may have a focuser. I assume you either can't cause the ...
You know, we've talked a lot about the OTA, but I have a question about the mount itself. For example, who designed it's innovative clutch system? I wonder...
