Spotted this old girl on gumtree, looks like someone put a bit of effort here many,many dark nights ago.

It costs $1.00 but this is negotiable.

I think this one for $75 could be a better buy - even if it is 75x more expensive:

Renovators delight!!

If they throw in a couple of the chooks it would be worth the $1.

Probably the only worthwhile salvage might be the counterweights.

you can still see a reflection in the mirror -I wonder what the figure is like? could be worth a re-coat

Check out the (carpeted?!) steps on the right of the picture - their framework is directly attached to the mount plinth!

(And does that plinth look remarkably like a truck driveshaft..?..!!)

Here's another wild one from a few weeks ago. The asking price was $100. The mirrors needed recoating but it was a home made f25 cassegrain.
