    Hi Folks, just signed up here and noticed a few familiar members from that other site. This looks like a nice forum and I hope it takes off.

    Thanks for the welcome!

    A Caveman told me about this new site and I'm glad he did! I exclusively work with (restore and use) Classic Newtonians. I'm not a die-hard collector and only have 4. From left to right, The Maynard Clark 8" f/8, The Horsetrail Cave 1961 12.5" f/7.5, The 1972 Cave 8" f/4.5 RFT and the 1975 Cave 8" f/7 Lightweight Deluxe.

    I currently do not have any restorations going on, but I'm always looking for something to do.

    If it doesn't sell soon, I'm going to give up and turn it into a Lightweight Deluxe and put the Cave 8" f/7 OTA on its mount instead.
