9 inch F6 Primary Mirror

[Glenhuon]

Our Menshed has been gifted a 9" F6 reflector with Samson Mount. Unfortunately over the years the mirror has been dropped and is quite badly chipped, which precludes recoating. The mirror has a date of 1978 on it, and by the looks of it a product of Astro Optical in Sydney, being similar to a 10" I previously owned.
One the same size would be great, but willing to substitute an 8". I can offer a trade for a complete 6" mirror grinding kit of similar vintage (The grinding plate is wrapped in a West Australian newspaper from 1976) or cash.

Hello Bill

I won't be home (Perth) for 3 weeks but if you are still looking then I can offer you an old Meade 8" f6 mirror (about 1997). It is pyrex and in good condition, could probably use a recoat but usable as is.

Send me a PM about the 6th of June if you are still looking.

Regards
Andy Jackson
