This is an excellent idea. I made my binoscope from recycled GSO 10" dob bits. The mirrors were almost identical focal lengths. But I paid $400 for the second mirror on its own. So with this deal, you could get both donor dobs for $600.

Here's another thought: get one, toss out the tube & the base in the next hard rubbish collection, and turn the optics into an ultra-compact travel scope.
