In the 70s and 80s, it was popular for camera companies to have advertising
pictures of the whole system laid out in a giant array on a studio floor.
I checked an OM picture, and it shows a telescope (3""(?) with a German
equatorial
mount (a type of mount, not the country of manufacture)), but there is no
visible manufacturer's markings on it. Interestingly, the guidance scope
is mounted backwards.
