This Tele Vue Genesis is optically 100% perfect working order. The tube has been serviced (cleaned) by Bintel, Melbourne.
The bad news is there are several chips/scratches on both sides of the tube, see pics, caused by previous owner using wrong length mounting screw. The paint has been chiped off but the tube itself is undamaged.
There is also a very small mark and very very minor lifting of the flocking at the front element, a couple of experts have told me they are so minor as to have no effect on the scope.
