Hi I have a 6 inch Astro Optical newt/ dob. Mirror is old and needs a re aluminizing but still works ok and is not damaged, just a bit dirty. great tough scope with steel tube, solid plywood mount 1 x 24mm eyepc and a laser finder. have compared to an 8 of same brand and not much different in terms of light gain.
email me at
christian.wilson@sydney.edu.au for more info

Let me know what you have, can PM me if you like 
Preferably in the Newcastle/Hunter/Central Coast/Sydney area for pickup.
edit: also potentially interested in a 10 inch dob if someone has one going for a very good price (read: cheap), otherwise these'll probably be outside of my budget.
