Tlescope tubes and lens blanks
I have 3 telescope tubes and some lens blanks that my husband was going to make into telescopes. Is anyone interested in them? They are free. You will need to collect from Katoomba.
I can't seem to post photos. They are unpainted metal. Around one metre to 1.2 metres in length. Glass lens blanks.

Jess, Stefan Buda here on IIS is about the only person I can think of who might be interested in the blanks, but you'd have to give him some closeup photos of whatever markings are on the blanks - the glass manufacturer would have labelled them to indicate the glass type. This information will look cryptic to you.

Hi Jess
Would it be possible to have the diameters of the glass blanks and the tubes measured, may be interested in some items.

Hi Again Jess
Unless anyone else wants any of the blanks and tubes, which I would hate to see thrown away, I would be happy to pick them up, at your convenience. I know that I'll never use all the glass but someone may be after a blank in the near future, so would be happy to store them for that possibility and pass them on. Definitely can use at least 1 of the tubes too.
The possible problem with loading images may be the file size is too large, I think they have to be 200kb or less, you may need to resize them.
If no other replies are forthcoming I'll send you a PM before the weekend, may be able to pick up on Saturday.
Best Regards

Jess,
I would love to have those discs, but unfortunately I'm in Melbourne - too far to come and get them.
I hope you find someone to save then.

Hello Jess
Seems like no-one else locally ( Greater Sydney area ) is putting their hand up to pick up at least some of the glass and tubes. No atmers out there wanting to push glass anymore.
In that case, I would like to pick up the blanks and tubes. Tomorrow if possibe, would be good for me as I have other stuff to do in western Sydney tomorrow as well.
