I had a 1970 Questar for several years, which traveled with me to Aruba for the solar eclipse, traveled to Cocoa Beach to photograph a night launch, traveled with me to, oh, probably 5 major observatories around the US. They really were as high of quality as they claimed to be...
There's still a market for them, look into it. a decent workhorse version can be found for about $1500.
