Pictures, as promised:

N.B. I had great difficulty taking a pic of the small chip on the secondary. It's difficult to pickup unless you really search for it.

The primary is has some dust etc, and what appear to be a few minor hairline scratches. Nothing unsightly and certainly won't affect performance.

I also forgot to mention that I flocked the focuser tube, apparently this helps as well. Should keep things nice and dark and contrasy.

I have added wing nuts to the secondary collimation screws. The stock ones are rubbish. This will be of great assistance.

You will see 2 x screws on the opposite side to the finder, this is where I mounted a cheap GSO laser finder, $20 or something. Having two finders made life easier. These screws / holes are ready to accept a standard Chinese finder holder.

What you see is what you get. Lots of aperture for these dollars.
