We have a Tasco 11TR 900mm 4.5" Newtonian to give away to a good home.

***Condition***
The primary and secondary mirrors are in perfect condition.
Collimation is completely off.
The tube has some dents, but none that impinge on the light path.
The mount is pretty much shot, but might be able to be rebuilt.
The wooden tripod is solid but a little difficult to use IMO.
Eyepieces (sizes unsure of) may have minor scratches but arent that great anyway.
Moon filter might have minor scratches but is otherwise decent.
***Recommendations***
There seems to be quite a few stories of the mount, tripod, old 0.985" size focuser tube and finderscope being ditched and replaced all new, which is what I recommend the receiver does. Apparently these make nice reflectors when this is done, since the primary and secondary mirrors are very nice.
***Pickup from Bellbowrie, Brisbane only. PM to organise. Inspections welcome***
