80mm f/9 update
It looks like the GSO focuser was of more interest than the old telescope. Just awaiting payment to confirm that the focuser is sold, but I've returned the original 1.25-inch focuser to the telescope and re-attached the finder. New pictures attached.
So the telescope is now for sale for $100 + postage if anybody is interested. My description of the finder was too harsh, now that I've looked at it again. The crosshairs were originally out of focus, but they are fine now that I've fixed that. It's a 6x30. The telescope performs nicely and the slight miscollimation I report is only visible under very high power and by a discerning observer.
Any takers?
