4"-new planet-scope brand?

The obvious question for an SAA lurker, and considering most of us know
all of the 4" lens grinders and manufacturers out there, begs the
question "what kind of scope was it"?

If it was in a custom tube, "who ground the lens"?

I'd love to hear it was a Tele-Vue or an AP....wouldn't you?

Does anybody know?

and installed a cameras telesphoto lens optics instead.

See the article on the Sky & Tel site at
http://skyandtelescope.com/news/article_1330_1.asp. It's a bit of this
