12" Dobsonian Base Price Reduction!

This is a new base imported flat packed from Mark Wagner in the US. It is made from serious ply, with a beautiful pale finish, and is very solid. I have properly painted it with clear estapol, using lots on the ply edges to ensure moisture cannot penetrate.

This mount was made to suit GSO/Bintel etc tubes as used for 12" scopes.

As shown by the pictures, ebony star on teflon is used to deliver just beautiful movement. The oversize altitude bearings ensure the best possible movement. Please note that the altitude teflon pads do require recessing to correctly position the bearings.

Cost to me was over $400.00, selling for $200.00, pick up only. I live about 20min west of the Melbourne CBD. Price now $150.00!!!!!!

PM replies, please.
