Wanted: A 70mm or 80mmx 500mm achromat OTA. Wanted primarily for the front lens therefore the OTA and focusser can be damaged. Dont want finder scope.
Needs to be reasonably cheap.

Try giving Roger Davis at Bintel Melbourne a call. He has lots of telscope bits and pieces. Good chance he will have an objective that would suit your needs.

I have an old tasco 60mm that you are welcome to Allan. No scope, just the lens and threaded lens cell and dew shield.

You're more than welcome Allan. It has gone to a good home now. It has been sitting on my book case for 3 years now waiting for you to need it. ;)
