EOI: Unitron 140

My Unitron 140 is up for sale and I am looking for expressions of interest.

When I started in this hobby (a long time ago), this was the scope that I wanted. I remember standing at the window of Astro Optics trying to figure out how I could fund the purchase. Move forward 35 years and i finally acquired one. Inevitably, I have been offered a model 152c which I cant turn down. So the 140 is up for sale.

This is the 75mm F16 Altazimouth mounted scope. It is good condition and comes with the following:
  • Altaz mount with spreader and original wood tripod, one leg of tripod is missing the cap at the end
  • OTA with finder, dewcap
  • 4 eyepieces + sun and moon filter, diagonal and terrestrial inverter
  • Wooden box for OTA
  • orginal cardboard box for mount and tripod

The views through this scope are great, on par with a lot of Chinese made ED's i have had in the past.

Whats the price? I am unsure what these are worth; I am open to any reasonable offer, really silly offers will be ignored.

I have a few more images if you want to see more. I am happy to ship with Australia, but given the size of the boxes, it is unlikely that I will be able to send via Australia Post. Shipping will be at buyers expense or pickup from Bathurst NSW is welcome.
