This review is from: Tasco Specialty 200 x Tel-Toy Telescope (Red) (Electronics)

The Tasco Specialty 200x Tel-Toy is somewhere between a toy and a telescope. "Surprisingly lightweight," my enthusiastic 5-year-old granddaughter said, carrying it to her room. In fact, the tripod is too light; it's unstable. Lack of written instructions for assembly was a major disappointment, given the many parts, interchangeable lenses, etc. I'm still hopeful that trial and error will prove that this toy can function enough like a telescope to satisfy an avidly curious child. Further comments to follow.
