BT100 45 Degree Binocular Clones

Selling my BT100 45 degree clone binoculars.
I bought these off a fellow IIS'er about two years ago.

This is my second pair of these and unlike the first these are really sharp across
the whole field with my 24 Panoptics (not included).
I've had it up to 120X With 5mm Vixen LVs and the centre still holds together.

I don't think you will get away using cheap eyepieces here though.
I've tried GSO 20mm Superviews with these and they are pretty bad at the edges.

Excellent condition with very clean optics.
A few scratches on the metal work here and there.
600mm focal length, 100mm objectives.
Takes standard 1.25" eyepieces.
Very solid wooden tripod.
Quality aluminium storage case.
Weight, about 13kg for the binoculars alone.

These are similar to the ones sold by Andrews, under his own name, for $2499.
