I'm wondering if someone has copies of the "Variable Views" magazine?

I have acquired a 8.25-inch f/15 refractor which was built by AAVSO observer John Dalton (DLT) and am refurbishing it.  I've seen some old correspondence with another AAVSO member where Dalton mentions he was planning to publish an article about this telescope in "VVs" -- it would have been sometime in the mid-1970s.  Because Dalton built this telescope by himself, from scratch -- including grinding the objective glass -- I'm hoping such an article exists, since it might explain his build process and any test results he performed on the objective.

Thanks,

Mark
