Selling scope and case separately but would prefer that they go together.
This was my brother's scope that he purchased in 1999 around the time I purchased an FS-102.
I did a quick look the night it was delivered, and it's since sat in its' case all those years and was never used.
I purchased it off him 2 years ago. I really didn't want to see this scope go as it is truly superb. But, I've only had it out twice in the last 2 years, for a quick look (so only used 3 times in total). I just don't know whether I'll ever manage to use it and am currently working towards downsizing everything I own. So, it needs to go and be used and enjoyed.
$1550 - FS-78 OTA + Cap + 7 x 50 finder with Tak reticle illuminator + Clamshell + scope extension tubes and aluminium end plug (Mount, EP's etc. not included) - The screws holding the finder scope have taken the paint off the finder scope tube in a couple of spots (look like small grey dots). This isn’t noticeable unless you take the finder tube out of its ring.
$350 - Pelican case (case and inner padding only). Note: Case will not be sold until the scope is.
Will consider respectable offers. Will post at buyer's expense but prefer pickup.
