[Utah-astronomy] Another blast from the past

Fellow old-timers, remeber this classic? http://cgi.ebay.com/Criterion-Dynamax-8001-8-Schmidt-Cassegrain-EXCELLENT-/1... The SCT that never quite caught-on. The cardboard tube and Criterion's infamous failure to deliver probably had a lot to do with it. I once ordered a heavy-duty equatorial mount from them. After a nine-month wait, I cancelled the order, and called Tom Cave. The Astrola was delivered in three weeks.
