EOI - Original SolarMax SM60 +BF10

IMHO this original version, with the full aperture external etalon (with T-Max tuning) is far superior to the current one which has the small (PST sized) internal etalon.
This comes complete with the solar finder, clamshell and short Vixen dovetail and not the standard BF5 but the much larger BF10.
Original hard case and documentation included (no eyepiece)
Similar (but better) to this:

With a suitable adaptor the front etalon can be mounted on your telescope of choice for even better results. The BF10 will accommodate focal lengths up to 1000mm.
