Hello,
I just joined and would like to find more out about the older types specifically Nippon Kogak's from back in the 50's & 60's

I believe my uncle gave me one of those scopes (60mm) back in the 1970's when it was 20 years old. I hope folks with a bit more expertise will chime in.

Hello and welcome to TSS! Probably the best place to get info on classic telescopes is Cloudy Nights/Classic Telescopes forum: https://www.cloudynights.com/forum/62-c ... elescopes/.

I have a website dedicated to Nihon Seiko/Unitron Telescopes of that era (see my signature).
