Swift Scopes These little scopes are typical of the small scopes imported from Japan in the 60's, 70's and 80's. They have excellent "glass", and are considered somewhat collectible.

Model 863 60mm x 810mm Alt/Az mount, with "slow-mo" controls.                     Model 862 60mmx700mm Alt/Az mount, no "slow-mo" controls                 Compared Side by Side Model 863 in the foreground. Notice the tripods and finders appear to be identical, however the mount for the 863 is a bit "beefier".
