Televue NP127is for sale
Televue NP127is with Televue case for sale in excellent condition-no discernible scratches - see photos
I bought it second hand in as new condition at the end of 2009. A minor upgrade to the NP127is model occurred at the end of 2010.
I have not been involved in Astronomy for the past few years so will sell
New price (Bintel $10,499) - My price $5,850 + postage – not negotiable
I much prefer a pick-up in Sydney will give preference to pick-ups– can also meet in reasonable distance from Sydney.
Will respond by PM only- Thank you

Thanks
Bruno

For those wanting to know the difference to the newer NP127is , the newer model model (2010 onwards) was upgraded with:


FeatherTouch / TV / FocusMate 10:1 micron focuser pinion assembly upgrade
Longer Captive Anodised Dew Shield
Upgraded Coatings
A Stainless Steel Lens Cell was added
Front Clear Lens Cap was replaced with a Solid Anodised Black Metal Cap.


There are multiple "anecdotal" reports (CN, AstroMart et al) that the Pertzval design was tweaked in the later models, however I dont think Al Nagler ever confirmed or denied the fact.

Magic Scope none the less. A great buy at the price. And an awesome xmas present for someone.

Stafan -Thanks for the clarification on the upgrade- appreciated!

Please note that the existing generic focuser is dual speed and perfectly satisfactory for my usage although the pinion is not a Feathertouch

The dew shield and cover is of high quality according to Televues high standards

Cheers
