Advertising my Takahashi TSA-120 for sale because I recently purchased an Edge HD 11.

I'd love to keep both, but I also have a mortgage & growing kids to pay for, so I simply can't justify keeping the extra scope. :(

Includes:-
- Pelican 1740 Long case, with plenty of room for accessories. It's indestructible. These are worth circa $700.
- Feather touch micro-pinion focus assembly, a big improvement on the stock Takahashi unit.
- Parallax tube rings. Joe from Parallax also made me a small aluminium plate which can bolt to the front ring to mount a Telrad on. This is pictured, removed from the front ring which you can see has extra holes for it.
- 15" DUP plate to suit Losmandy/Casady/ADM style saddles.
- Takahashi finder Quick release (pictured), plus Takahashi 8x50 finderscope bracket (not pictured).
- Kendrick premier dew heater to suit.

The scope doesn't have a single mark on it and is in completely immaculate condition.

However, there is a very small flake of paint which chipped off the edge of the lens cap, and this can just be glimpsed in the shot of the tube where the dew shade is retracted.

I purchased the scope from Claude about 3 years ago. From memory, the scope cost me about $5600 and I would have spent close to ~$2k on the above listed accessories.

Asking price $5300, or offers in that vicinity + shipping as applicable. PM if interested.

OK, maybe I'm asking too much? If you're interested, then PM me with a reasonable offer and I'll consider it.

This scope really is immaculate, so if you're in the market for a top notch 120mm APO, then it's an excellent alternative to buying new.
