1.25" Eyepiece Wheel

Hello all,

For sale is a 1.25" eyepiece wheel. It can hold 3 1.25" eyepieces.
Each barrel is made of metal, the rest is made of tough plastic.
The design is very simple:there is no mirror, prism or optical element. A barrel is inserted in the telescope in the same way an eyepiece would be. The 3 heads can then be rotated. The part that goes inside the scope is metal and is threaded to accept 1.25" filters.
I am selling as I have found the rotation movement to require a bit of force or a compression ring eyepiece holder (the eyepiece wheel tends to slip in mine when trying to turn it to change eyepiece). It might require a bit of tweaking. To be honest I haven't tried much - I have no tools and that does not help.

I am asking $35 including postage Australia wide.

Direct Deposit or Paypal.
PM only please.
