Everything to make an 8" dob $120 pick up

Well nearly everything.

Years ago I pulled apart a bintel/GSO 8" dob into its parts and threw away the steel tube, my intent at the time was to build a light weight truss dob for travelling but never had the time.

I am selling everything in the photo as one complete set, being:
  • 8" mirror and it's mounting
  • spider assembly
  • secondary mirror and fittings for spider
  • 50mm bintel/GSO finder scope
  • focuser
  • eyepiece rack
  • 2x tube mounts and tensioner spring

The mirror is in surprisingly good condition for its age but is sold as-is, it has been stored wrapped in glad wrap and when i tested taking it off and cleaning the mirror it looks to be in VGC.

There is nothing else but what is in the photo, pick up only Manly, Sydney.

$120 the lot.

Note: I have no idea what f-ratio the mirror is, whatever the bronze coloured Bintel 8" dobs were in the day, if anyone has one of those scopes can they add a post to this thread as it would be a best guess I suppose.

PM me if you are interested.
