Item # 251151464471.
Current bid $1135 ,,, woaw , could be worth keeping an eye on ? :hi: .

Some variation in quality on these (a few exmaples had quite noticable zonal defects as well as fringeing ), tho' if you get a good'un they're a real bargain.

:thumbsup: I realise that a major shame for an otherwise awsome refractor , but its only most the cell design was S^!T and meade will replace them free even today , but what a phallic symbol ? ,,:hi: ,, sorry girls ?? :thanx:.
I will be keeping an eye on this big boy ;) .sorry girls :rofl:.
Hope it sells .
