OLD Newtonian and Mount ** REDUCED $40 **

G'day Again

I have another project that is just sitting here and has to go.

It's an old Newtonian and mount, built in the 70's and salvaged by some wreckers from an old Adelaide home that was being demolished.

It is a very heavy duty mount, the Newtonian tube and Focuser is in good condition. But the 6" mirror has seen better days, needs replacing or repairing.

Great project and something when finished that you could leave out in the garden covered, for quick visual observing nights. Just push and pull!

The mount could easily take a larger OTA, maybe time to put your big Dob/Newt on it! Just add some rings.

This would be a great project.

$100 - local pick up way too heavy for anything else!

Cheers
