Cleaning the garage I found an old SW 130 reflector I was considering to make into a solar scope. It's in SAD condition, so will happily part it out.
The primary has a large silvering FUBAR - about 3 inches long, 3mm wide. Looks like some sap was on there, or similar, and took off the silvering. Otherwise nice in it's cell. Could be recoated if worth it.
$8, postage additional

Secondary - not too bad, small edge chip. Has spider etc.
$5, postage additional
----
Rack and pinion focuser assembly. Plastic mounting shroud, what seems to be aluminium drawtube. Rubber on knobs is still ok. Has some oxidation. Needs work.
$1, postage additional
----
Tube. Black diamond colour. Bent, straightened (kind of), bent again, deformed where the Vixen dovetail WAS. Has the front plastic cap to stop cuts from the tube.
Pay postage and it's yours.
----
Skywatcher Alt-Az GOTO mount. Tripod still attached. Motors etc still extant. NO HAND CONTROLLER. Broken knob securing rail to mount head. Haven't tried to turn it on, but can if so inclined. Tripod seems decent at least, might be good to make a camera tracking mount? IF it works. SOld strictly AS-IS, with absolutely no guarantee, warranty or whatever as to if it works or not. I have my doubts!!! If it works, go buy a lotto ticket.
$10, postage extra.
The rest I have salvaged for myself (finder, finder bracket, finder shoe).
Or buy the lot for $20, postage additional.
I think even with the silver issue on the primary it is still a doable job to make it a solar scope, even using the boogered tube.
