Scope rescue
I wonder if you might be able to help me find an institution, group or individual interested in taking my late 1800s 5-inch Thomas Cookefinderscope and the eyepiece holder; the rest is still covered in thick black paint. I have had the instrument assembled and it has all its parts, and the clockwork drive mechanism to track the sky is in working order. I would be very grateful for any interested enquiries via the magazine. As yet I have not resorted to eBay! I have more photos and videos of this historic telescope which can be forwarded.
