16" Dobstuff Kit - complete structure / needs optics

I've recently migrated the mirrors, spider, focuser and cell for my 16" F/4 to a new structure and I'm giving away the previous structural bits.

Pickup only from the Surry Hills (Sydney) area.

It's essentially a complete Dobstuff kit, there may be a few screws and teflon missing, but I believe I've kept track of most everything

The attached pictures show most of the kit in its current state, plus what it looked like assembled.

What's included:
- All wooden parts (OTA, rocker, groundboard)
- Focuser Board (Aluminium angle + cutout, drilled for Moonlight focuser)
- Aluminium struts, cut for 16" F/4, will need to be replaced if focal length is too dissimilar. Configured for Easy Transport option, see website.
- Finder bracket
- Bearing surfaces (FRP for azimuth, ebony star for altitude)
- Feet
- Misc bolts, washers, etc.
- Skate wheels for azimuth motion (no central bolt, uses hole to save weight and ease assmbley)

What's not included:
- Primary / Secondary Mirror (Should work with ~15-17")
- Mirror cell
- Spider
- Focuser

All this can be yours for the price of petrol! If you are looking for a project and have a 16" f4, or want to purchase an inexpensive(ish) GSO set, you could put together a pretty good scope. Message me with any questions.

Sorry, someone PM'd me a bit before you posted. Your astrobiology Meetup sounds interesting, if the other member doesn't pick it up for some reason, I will message you.

Thanks!
