CL and came across a unitron 140. i left a message with owner then forgot about it because i did not hear back from till last week. he agreed to ship it to me and it came ups today also. its dirty and needs some cleanup but it is complete. and the other day i picked up a very nice celestron c8 locally on CL the other day.(there is a post in Cats section) optics on that one are real nice and have not a speck of dust that i can see. well, here are a bunch of pictures for those that would like to take a look.
