Michael Zammit and Carl Zambuto have just announced a new scope with a good price (USD2,995) for pre-orders for the first production run of 10.

Hello All,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce a new line of
telescopes that I've been working on, The StarStructure TopLine
Series (TLS).
The TL Series has been designed with one thing in mind…to offer an
affordable telescope that will perform as good as ANY scope in its
class. This structure has the same build quality as our more expensive
line with a few changes to make them more production friendly.
All scopes in the TL series will be manufactured in minimum runs of 10
off with intentions to have them in stock all the time. The first scope
that will be produced is a 12.5 inch F5. Fabrication will begin in
August with completion some time in November.
I had originally intended to offer the TL Series as a structure only for
the price of $1295.00 with options such as a DSC podium for $75.00 and
an encoder arm kit for $29.95.
The structure only will include the following:
Complete aluminum structure with mirror box cover, Starstructure
manufactured spider, integrated wheels and handle system and light
shroud. The mirror cell will be a NON-Removable 6 point plop design. For
easy installation of the primary optic the top plate of the mirror box
will be removable. The scope will be finished with a durable hammered
finish on the outside painted surfaces with white pre-coated aluminum
inset panels. All inside surfaces will be flat black. Zenith height is
approximately 62 inches and the weight of the heaviest component will
not exceed 25 pounds. The lift weight at the handles is approximately 6
pounds.
Now…Here comes the best part.
In cooperation with the Zambuto Optical Company we will be offering the
TL Series as complete, ready to use telescopes. They will be equipped
with a ZOC 12.5 inch F5 1.25 inch thick Pyrex Primary, 2.14 inch
secondary, Astrosystems secondary holder and a Moonlite single rate
focuser for the price of $3295.00!
Even Better…
We are now excepting preorders until July 31st for the introductory
price of $2995.00 on the first 10 units.
Delivery will begin in November through the end of the year.
This is the lowest priced 12.5 inch Zambuto Mirrored telescope on the
market today! Orders will be taken on a first come first serve basis.
More details and fabrication photos with be posted on my web site as
soon as fabrication begins.
Thank you ,
Michael Zammit
For those that want a metal-frame truss dob and can afford the shipping and GST impost, this might be for you, given the current currency exchange rate! :)
