12"-ish, f/7-ish primary mirror.

Hi all,

This is a real stab in the dark, Hail Mary request!

Might anyone have kicking around a 12" f/7 primary mirror?

I have a 12" f/5 scope, but I'm wanting to push the envelope with a more specialized planetary scope, hence the slower f/ratio. I'm going Old School here!

Doesn't need to be exactly 12", a little smaller or a little larger is worth considering. Same with a little variation in the f/ratio. Only thing is its figure needs to be outstanding. If the coating needs refreshing thats ok too.

Let me know if you have something like this, or if you know of someone who might.

Thanks for looking,

Alex.
