Do Tak 4” come up for sale often?

[NCRAW]

Always been a fan of the Tak white and green 70s/80s industrial look. How often do the 4” FS/FC show up for sale in Aus?

How can anyone say it is a guess ?

Often enough. A few hundred dollars for freight from uk/Europe. Avoid US sellers as the American freight companies do not stick to their quotes and charge many times more - possibly more than the item is worth.

Nothing in Aus right? Astronomy Alive had one but missed it.

The other thing you can do is trawl the ads on IIS and figure out who bought/sold a scope you are interested in, and see if they would part with it.

A bit like asking a hot blonde for a date - nothing to lose - the worst they can say is no, and occasionally one will say yes.

Haha nice way of putting it.
