SW 150mm f/8 refractor - needs some love - $100

I picked this up on Facebook as a renovation project and I haven't done anything with it. Turns out I don't have time for this with other projects on the go. Maybe someone else has some love for this scope. Big girls need love too!

Comes as is. The lens cell doesn't look scratched or damaged, but does need to be removed and given a good clean. No dew shield. No diagonal. It came with the electronic focuser fitted (no controller and I have never tested whether it works). Could be cleaned and mounted for a seriously impressive piece of hardware. I weighed it at around 8kg. Alternately it could potentially be salvaged for parts - finder, rings, dovetail, compression ring adapter, lens cell - all could be repurposed.

Anyone interested in big blue Betty?
