I might be wrong also but as I remember the old C8's had a weak spot where the tripod leg mounted to the hub. When He said leg and crack in the same sentence that was my first thought. He did make it seem like more of a leg issue than a fork issue to me. I also thought I saw the "Moss" but realized in a minute that it was a reflection of a tree. Steve

If the fork is cracked, I would suspect that it may have been dropped.

Only if the optics are good. Some were made during the Halley's Comet era with bad optics. The best optics I have seen are in the newer scopes after around 1998. Even so , you can still get a lemon.

I wonder what "one leg has a crack on the mount" means. I suspect it means the fork is cracked.

Looks like a nice fixer-upper for a science class. -- Joe

I would bet the guy would deal. He just keeps relisting it and dropping the price.
I don't need another scope, but I keep thinking it could probably be had for less than the listing.
