I have been asked to pass on one (as new) 4.5 inch F/900 Tasco Newt. 1977 model 11TS-5 (without tripod) by a MR Reid of Castle Hill. The scope was his son's first telescope. It is intended to go to a young person already into astronomy.
The scope comes in its original cardboard box. App. 1m by 0.5 by 0.5
Postage would cost you around $20.00 or pick up Castle Hill, Sydney

Re above Tasco.
Rather than looking for a suitable tripod for the scope I suggest someone make up a
Dobson turntable thereby taking the scope off my hands.
I have no space for it in my garage. P l e a s e !

I have a light weight go-to mount and a 10 year old grandson who has just seem Saturn on our scope.
Quite interested in your scope.

Tripod is stored on the under side of the polystyrene. Lift the poly carton out of the cardboard box and turn it over.

These ones are Japanese optics. I sold one 2 yrs ago on eBay

Will be interested to give this as a first scope to my nephew.

Keep me in queue on your waitlist. Can pick up.

Has it gone yet?

I already have a dob mount for this size that I made for my grandkids. The scope on this mount was found on a chuckout and is only just good enough for the moon.

I'll join the waiting list.:)

Thank you Trevor for your information about the tripod at the bottom of the box.
Thank you all for your support
