Tube for Skywatcher 305mm, flex.

[Rowlfie]

Its a long sad story. The tl;dr is my tube has been damaged and I am struggling to find anywhere that sells either aluminium telescope tubes of that diameter, of CF tubes of that diameter.

So if you have a flex tube SW 305mm (12 inch) that you want to sell I would like to buy. Ill take anything that has a nice tube, does not matter if the mirrors are no good or you don't have the mount or anything like that... I just want the cylinder.

If anyone out there knows where I can get a custom tube made in AU or where I can buy something like this I would be very very pleased to know.

I am in Brisbane... Local to me would be grand but I am sure we can sort out some kind of deal.

Matt.

Hi Matt,
This probably won't be what you want but this lot in Melbourne http://www.metalstore.com.au/privacy/ sell Aluminium tubes up to 204mm and may be able to help you find a bigger diameter???? Worth a try?
Cheers
Matt

Thanks, a friend of mine knows a metal fab guy so as a last resort i will contact him and see what he can do for me as he is local.

Just thought id test the waters and see if maybe someone had one they wanted to sell.
