I have a 10" F5 setup which is in a very sorry state
I now have started to get it back to its former glory and the first stage will be to have the mirrors recoated then purchase new focuser, spotting scope rings. The tube will have to be stripped a bit of panel beating then powder coated. Finally i will have to tackle the mount, it seems to be in reasonable condition so i will strip down check the bearings and see if the motor is OK.
Hopefully this will not take too long but i have bought the GSO 12" Dob to keep me company
If anyone has suggestions on anything about the rebuild please feel free to tell me as i am a complete novice.
Also as i am in Melbourne any suggestion as to where i can have the mirrors recoated.
