Criterion Dynascope RV6
Criterion RV-6 Dynascope
Back in September, I picked up a Criterion RV-6 Dynascope that someone brought to the CAS Astronomy Fair to sell. I payed $250.00 for it. It was in great condition! I have been wanting to pick up an old scope like this. Bill Burton recommended a Dynascope as a good first classic telescope.
I have since used it several times. The clock drive works wonderfully, the optics are great, and I have been using it regularly. It came with the original 3 Ramsden Achromatic eyepieces.
This has been a great find!!
So cool. This was one of my very first telescopes when I was a kid. Great scope too. I wish I still had it, seems to have been “misplaced” in a move. Nice site you have here.
Thanks for your comments!
The RV-6 is a great telescope. I have a complete one I restored, and it works great. In the process of gathering parts to restore it, I got an extra RV-6 OTA. Is anyone interested in buying it?
