You are bidding on a genuine Cave Astrola (aka Cave Optical Co.) 6-inch f/8 matched mirror set from a Cave Student A reflector, dated December 1970; serial number M705973. The figure on this full-thickness pyrex mirror is outstanding and can be considered a planetary killer. Once both mirrors receive a fresh recoat on their surfaces, they will perform to refractor-like levels. I have had this scope out of service for a few years as the coatings were beginning to fade due to age. They have been safely stored in one of my scope rooms for a long time and with work on my big 18\" dob still going on, I cannot commit to this project anymore.This is your chance to have one of the finest ever optical mirrors made during the golden years of amateur astronomy. I will give extreme, professional care when packing these mirrors so that you get them as seen guaranteed.
VMO is particularly fond of Thomas Cave optics, having had many restoration affairs with the Student models. Know that you are transacting with a fan and a top professional in the field of astronomy optics. You will only get the finest, most honest service from me.
