Takahashi Reducer TKA 31580S

Advance notice : Item will be available when I return to Sydney Australia after May 8.

Takahashi PN TKA 31580S
TOA/FS Reducer for TOA scopes. 0.73x
Provides flat field of 50mm diameter.

Current US Price $710, asking AUD$600.
Will be in Helensburg (Sydney) and Canberra region through most of May, or buyer pay postage.

I've set up the reducer on my TOA 130 terrestrially and it appears to work fine on my Canon D5ii. I've not used it for astro. It has been on my TOA for only a few hours since I purchased back in about 2010.

A combination of health issues and poor skies at my current residence (Laos) has forced me to abandon any idea of using this reducer. (And a lot of other stuff).
