Kowa TSN-2 straight spotting scope?

[mobertok]

Hi everyone, I have found a Kowa tsn-2 straight spotting scope and don't know much about them. It's about 12 years old, is this still a good spotter in today's world? It has a 30x and a 60x eye piece. Anyone know if it's worth $300?
Thank you.

What is the objective lens diameter?

As to worth, I think the 30x eyepiece (presuming it's an LER type of good quality) might cost $300 by itself.

I'm not sure if this shows if they are LER or not?

I think this is a great deal, and if you don't buy it, please point me to the seller and I will.

The TSN 2 is older than 12 years old I'm sure, It was released in 1984. They made it in a 66mm and an 82mm objective lens. I'm sure it's still a nice scope though especially with the 2 eyepieces.

Hey, I picked up the scope today, so far I can't tell a huge difference between my vangaurd and the kowa. When it gets a little darker I'm going to test them again side by side. 60x is quite a bit crisper though. Conditions might be the key in the comparison too, but I do like it.
