Hi Lloyd and welcome!

I looked at TMB back in '06 before getting my scope and the late Tom Back himself told me they would not ship to Aus. Rather I had to go to Europe to buy one (new) - a thought I didn't particularly relish from a warranty support perspective. Pretty sure that hasn't changed but perhaps someone else has tried recently(?). Since I wanted to use my equipment before dieing of old age I didn't get an AP (although my name is still on the waiting list for a 160!)

If your budget allows I'd put Tak equipment on your to-be-researched-list too - local (Aus) supplier, a fairly short wait and optical and build quality beyond reproach.

Cheers, Marcus
