Meade 16-inch

The 16-mirror was a thin mirror.

Here is a page from the 1992 Meade catalog.

Hmmm... seems that I can not add an image to this post.

Ah-got it! I'll add the page to my personal album. Take a look there. Here is the link... http://www.astrovox.gr/forum/album.php?user_id=4

Some people found that the tube, which was made out of a neavy paper, fell apart after while. I believe that there were some issues in humid climates. It certainly was a lot of telescope for the money back then. It was quite heavy too.
