FOR SALE - VIXEN 80M ALTAZIMITH REFRACTING TELESCOPE SYSTEM - SOLD
I dont need two of these units
So one of them can go to someone who will actually use it
It's sitting in it's box in my collection, and hasn't been used for yonks
This is a terrific performer, and suits someone that either wants something rare as a collectible, or someone starting out that wants something that is a lot better than standard retail Chinese telescopes - as this is premium Japanese optics & engineering, it's a terrific system and wonderful value

Including - Brand new Three piece quality 1.25 inch eyepiece set
Including - Brand new Star diagonal
Including - Original Vixen smooth operation Altazimuth mount with manual slow motions controls
Including - Original Vixen wooden tripod
Some usage scratches on the outside of the tube (standard for a telescope of this period), but no dents in the tube, and the mechanicals and the optics are excellent (as you would expect from Vixen)
I have just cleaned it up and serviced it, and it's in good condition, and mechanically & optically these units are terrific :)
SELLING AT $ 600
Packaging & shipment nationally via courier at cost
Note: The OTA alone (no eyepieces, finderscope & bracket, diagonal, mount & tripod) is $ 600 (best price available in Australia for this unit)
Payment via cash on pickup or via direct bank deposit
