Howdy Pilgrims,
Thought I'd post this here as there may be someone local who is starting out in astronomy who'd like this scope.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with the person selling it (I'm in Canberra, it's in Coffs Harbor). I DO however own this exact scope and love it. Great optics for it's size and easy to use. Build quality is pretty decent, with only the finderscope being a bit fiddly to align properly. Once you do though it works a treat.
There are several incarnations of this scope, most made in China. This one is one of the earlier models from the 60s-70s that was made in Japan.

PS. Happy to answer any questions about this model of scope etc. (personal opinions obviously).
