This might be nice, and @ a great price




Got it!
The bad news: The primary has substantial degradation to the coatings and will have to be re-coated. No other damage noted on the mirror.
As for the rest, it's in pretty good shape for a 40+ year old scope. A reasonable number of scratches but no dents in the metal tube. Functioning focuser with attached prism diagonal. Some surface rust on the mount...When I have some more time, I'll post some pictures in another thread
