Timebandit Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hello. I have managed to acquire a Televue barlow 1.25 at 1.8x magnification. The modern equivalent seem to be x2 now so I take it these are one of the older ones. It has come with box and caps which is a good sign and also made in Japan. I am not sure how these compare to the modern day barlow and powermate ,but I am sure there are members who have used both which should be able to supply more information on the quality I hope you like the purchase and hopefully it is considered a quality barlow. Thanks ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putaendo Patrick Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Looks like these were introduced in 1985, and I guess phased out when the x2 Barlow was introduced in 1995.

DHEB Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have a similar one, but 2.5X (bought from a fellow SGL:er) and I am very happy with it. It is good quality and works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
