Selsi Model 247 Telescope

[nesie]

Hi can anyone help I have a great condition New Selsi Model 247 Telescope  complete with wooden stand and carry box not sure of its value ?

A quick google reveals they were produced in the 1960’s to early 1970’s by Vixen. 
It may be worth a few $$ depending on condition.
There’s some info about this telescope on the Cloudy Nights forum.
For me I would be I would be tempted to keep hold of it but good luck with whatever you decide to do with it.

Never heard of a China made one but live and learn. 

Yours looks early if it's like  the one on the cover of your instructions.

I'm new on this site so maybe I'm not finding more photos. 

I like it.

Also, never heard of one made by vixen. 

Just saying

Doesn’t it need a price thought that was the point of a for sale section

Yes. The 'for sale' section is what the name says. Maybe this thread ought to have been moved, or should be moved, by the moderators, to equipment discussion?

If it has all the original accessories and wooden box and it's in great condition, scopes of this type usually fetch at least $100 in the US astro classifieds.
