Found: Wobbletronic Reflector

[drmorbius (Randall)]

Hi everyone,

I'm starting a DIY project to build a dob for Morbius Jr and I'm on the lookout for a small, cheapish reflector... Here's a chance to get rid of that embaressing Wobbletronic Deluxe you purchased before joining this forum and learning what you should have bought .

Thanks all

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for their generous responses...

Cash convertors are a good source of 6omm wobbletronix bought during the Halley's comet frenzy.

Hi dr,
I've got a wobbletronic tripod (no eq or az mount) that you can have for postage.
Cheers

Oops - I forgot to metion... what I'm really interested in is the OTA, which we plan to mount on a DIY dob platform.

Thanks Doug - that tripod is tempting (you never know when you might need one) but the missus is complaining about the storage space I'm using up now.

No Worries dr,
It's up in my shed if you change your mind!
Cheers
Doug

Randall....I know its not what you have asked for but if intersted I have a 3month old Skywatcher 70mm Fl 900mm Acho refractor OTA I have used once and and is still in its box...cost $130 yours for $50

Good luck with your search.

hey doc:

would you be interested in a 3 inch mirror and a small front surface mirror suitable as a secondary to go with it so you can make your own dob?

The optics are from surplus shed in the US-the mirror has some scratches -(as it came from surplus shed)-I never built the scope and probably wont..never touched except to open once to look at

heaps of people I know have built very satisfactory dobs with this mirror and it could be a fun project


say $15 including postage ?
