Intes M500 Mak Cas & EQ5

[pgc hunter]

Selling my 5" Intes M500 Mak with an EQ5 mount. Scope includes 40mm finder, diagonal, bahtinov mask and soft carry case and features fully user adjustable primary and secondary collimation. The mount is missing the Dec slow motion knob but the RA slow-motion control works perfectly making tracking a breeze.

$700 for the lot.

I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow, if not then by Wed next week. Melbourne area pickup/drop off only.

PM if interested.

Cheers

Ok I am willing to split the package, but again local pick up or dropoff only for both items as I don't have the boxes for them and due to size/wieght etc. Can arrange travel a bit further afield and/or meet halfway.

$500 for scope
$200 for mount.

cheers

This is a GREAT 5" scope (much better than a C5 or ETX 125) and an absolute bargain.

Have you fixed the collimation on this scope? And how did you set it right - self or other?

Does the scope have the vent holes on the front rim?

[pgc hunter]

still for sale...... keep in mind I am not willing to ship this item, as I don't want the risk of damage and so it can be inspected in person. Therefore pickup from Melbourne.

This scope doesn't have the vent holes in the front rim. It is a bit out of collimation but because I am unfamiliar with this design and its procedure to collimate I haven't really touched it. Optics are clean and everything is in good condition. There's a few small marks on the tube but that in no way affects the scope.

$700 for scope + mount

or

$500 for scope
$200 for mount

pickup or dropoff only.

Is it still for sale and come with any eye pieces?

[pgc hunter]

I've had a couple of guys enquire about this item but after repeated attempts at contacting them over last couple of weeks they haven't replied, so not sure if they're still interested so, anyone who's interested in the scope or mount please PM me.

Prices $200 for mount/ $500 for scope firm. Pickup or dropoff in/near Melbounre only, will not ship.

I agree, I enquired when it first hit the market, but the same answer.
I'd have been all over it like a cheap suit if he did.
No matter, his prerogative.

Yep unfortunately I don't have the packaging for it nor have ever shipped an item of this size/value so I feel its better off just playing it safe.

btw, for anyone farther afield, I don't mind driving 2-3 hours to meet halfway
