Post #300,863 by Ashton 12/9/08 2:56:30 AM Reply	Re: Wow... just, wow. - Can I have his old 7" Questar scope? There's a new model: replacing all the SS with Titanium.. 4 kinds of mirrors available - including quartz. hint.. hint.. Not surprised to see the Questar, from the gist of the place in first pics. OK: I had a Questar AND a TRS Model 100; looks like a hP-55 biz calculator (programmable, but no storage, as on the 65, 67. Magical in late '60s.) == fellow collector .^.. Worthy Q. recipient, (though I may be biased.) Nice that a few have some idea of what to do with too-much money -- beyond 7 Ferraris and a 10' Tee Vee on each wall.
