I have a classic Takahashi FC-100 OTA for sale. This is one of the original series of fluorite scopes & is a great visual instrument. You can find a review of it here:

It comes with various Tak fittings including clamshell, 1.25" and 0.965" eyepiece adapters. You can see them all in the first photo. There is no finder.
It is an older scope & it has a few cosmetic issues which are as follows:
- 3mm hole drilled in the middle of the dust cap by the previous owner
- a few paint chips on the OTA
- the focus knob has a bit of play
- there are some dew spots on the objective. It would be possible to clean these off but I have not touched it since they do not affect performance.
This is a great lunar, planetary & double star scope & this model is very hard to find. I am only selling it because I yet again have too many scopes. I am asking $1,350. This price reflects the cosmetic issues I have listed above. Prospective buyers in Melbourne are welcome to come & try the scope.
