Truss Tube Suitable 10" F5

Designed and built from scratch by me, and will soon be superseded by a newer tube.
Built around a 10" f5 primary. Uses ply for the upper cage rings, and the primary cell. Carbon Fiber tubes for the spreaders and truss poles, so nice and light, plus it looks snazzy.
Secondary cage has an older spider/secondary holder fitted, and also includes a secondary mirror, unless these are not required.
You will need to supply your own 10" f5 mirror, and focuser. (Focuser mounting plate in the picture is not included).
You will also need to manufacture a means of attaching the truss/tube to your mount, or attach dob bearings, so there is a little work to do.
Open to offers and/or suggestions (polite suggestions of course).
PM me.
