Components for a 16-inch scope

During Lockdown I bought a second hand Meade 16-inch Dob on IIS.
I rebuilt it into a truss tube dob. It was a great project and challenge.
A good light bucket.

I'm now selling the optical parts and focuser
* 16-inch F/5 mirror with mirror cell (within the bottom portion of the original tube)
* Secondary mirror with spider
* GSO 2-inch focuser.

The primary mirror and secondary are in good condition for their age.

I want to keep all the other components for another project. I've uploaded some images I took with the scope and what my build looked like.

This would make a nice project for an ATM.

Price: $ 400 pick up only.
