Vixen 102M on Super Polaris Mount

Up for sale is my faithful Vixen 102M achromat on a Super Polaris Mount. I purchased this scope about 25 years ago when it was about 6 years old. It's the classic Vixen scope made in Japan in the 1980s. A real collectors item.
Piggybacked on the Vixen 1000mm f9.8 OTA sits a 700mm f11.7 OTA guide scope and a 6 x 30 finder scope. All optics are clean and in good condition. The super Polaris mount has dual axis drives and comes with a basic GOTO Vixen Skysensor 2 controller.
There is also a polar alignment scope with an external battery operated illuminator. There are 4 x.965 inch eyepieces : 4mm, 5mm, 7.5mm illuminated reticle (used on the guide scope), 18mm and a 3xbarlow. A .965 inch diagonal and image inverter for terrestrial use, a set of .965 inch Celestron coloured filters and all leads for the controller are included.
This is an original, made in Japan Vixen and is complete apart from a missing .965 inch plastic eyepiece holder cap and the accessory tray.

I'm asking $900 for the complete outfit. Pick up from Melbourne or within a 2 hour drive from same location.
Regards,
Michael.
