Takahashi FS128

[adam010289]

I purchased this from a member last year and it has been put to use. The condition of the scope is immaculate and has never been left out overnight.

I'm very sad to see this go, but it is time to move on. I'm seeking $4000 firm as I know how sought after these scopes are and would rather keep it than let it go for any less.

Shipping: I normally use Pack Send as they cover 'Scientific Equipment' on their insurance. The whole package is quite heavy and the insurance surcharge will be a significant factor. PM me your postcode if you are seeking a quote but expect it to be quite high.

Pickup: I'm located the in the western suburbs of Sydney. However, I'm happy travel up to 100km. If you're a little outside that distance I'm sure we can work something out.

For anyone considering this FS128, I understand that it is in the same condition as when Adam collected it from me and it really is immaculate.

Fantastic visual instrument !!!
I know nothing about imaging so can't comment on that aspect.

Here is a pic I took of it
