Takahashi Mewlon250

For sale a Takahashi Mewlon 250S Dall-Kirkham Telescope, comes with the BRC-250 tube rings/Takahashi mounting plate, professionally made custom case, electronic focuser handbox and cooling harness.
It was manufactured in the 2008 run and I brought it in 2011 from the original owner. When brought it was described as in mint condition but as usually is the case with the used market one persons mint is another persons very good etc. So with that there are three things to note on the scope.....

1.When looking at the primary from the front at 10 o'clock there is a very fine 5mm-10mm mark/scratch near the outer perimeter of the mirror. Its hard to see but its there.
2.Where the tube rings hinge on the ota there is some light marking from incorrect placement of the Tak rings.
3.The 8x50 finderscope rear objective focusing unit is loose and needs to be refocused at times during observing.

Besides those the scope is a wonderful scope and has been a joy to use. It's easy to maintain with easy access to the primary for cleaning {have cleaned the mirror once}.
