8" F4 Newtonian OTA

Selling an 8" F4 Newtonian OTA with 6 x 30 finderscope. I purchased this from ebay some time ago and haven't been able to get a great image out of the mirror. I think the problem is that the mirror is quite thin, plate glass and i simply haven't mounted it correctly.

The tube is a home made PVC plastic type and there is a 12v fan in the back. I paid $220 for it, i am happy to part with it for $150 (postage included - free postage).

I am sure there is someone out there who is good with mirror mounts and could get this working correctly.

Adam.
