Lumicon 2"/1.25" mirror diagonal

These are classics, especially now since Lumicon no longer exists.

Excellent condition LumiBrite 2" (with 1.25" adaptor) 98% reflectivity diagonal. Some minor scratching at the very base of the nosepiece.

These last-production ones came with nylon/ABS main screws, but I replaced them with brass thumbscrews, sourced from the very same New York company that made and supplied them for Lumicon on the pre-plastic screw models.

I obtained this one from Gary Beal only about 5 months ago for $150 Aus (postage extra), so I am willing to part with it for $120 POSTED.

Here is Gary's original ad where you can see the plastic screws - compare it to now with the brass ones - http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...hlight=lumicon

I tested it against a Tak 2" mirror and Baader T2 BBHS, and it is right up there with them - warmer toned, but I like that. Tak used to supply these with the FSQ-106's for visual (modified nosepiece). I'll find some caps before sending.
