10" Lightbridge + Accessories.

As I've just recently purchased a new scope(s), I've decided to sell my 10" Lightbridge which I've owned for about a year. It includes the following:

- 10" Meade Lightbridge
- Bob's knobs on both secondary and primary mirrors.
- Astrozap lightshroud
- JMI counterweight
- Kendrick heater on the secondary
- 9x50 RA Finderscope
- Argo Navis encoders (doesn't include the handset)
- Argo stalk (home made)
- Completely flocked with spotlight black felt on the inside.

I still have the boxes for the scope itself. There is a light scuff mark on the primary mirror which I've left as is as it doesn't seem to effect the views. I'm sure it can be easily washed off with some force but I'm too lazy There's the odd occasional mark on the outside of the scope from wear and tear, nothing serious at all and doesn't effect the movement or views in anyway.

All up this has cost me just under $2k for the package. As I have been asked several times to remove certain items and lower the price a little, I'm willing to sell it as the following package(s):

- $900 total package
- $850 without finderscope
- $800 without the JMI counterweights
- $750 without the coutnerweights and finderscope.

I can't remove the heater unfortunately as it's glued onto the secondary mirror and the argo encoders are only of use to someone with a 10" LB as they are specifically designed for it. The same applies for the light shroud.

I wouldn't want to ship the scope at this point and would rather local pick up from Sydney, especially so the buyer can inspect before buying. However if it generates interest elsewhere and I'm not having much luck here I may consider it.

Update 31/03/2010: Pics uploaded.

Update 01/04/2010: Pricing updated.

As I really need this scope gone to clear some space in the garage, I have dropped the price a further $100, making it a total of $1000 for the package. The old folks are complaining I have too many scopes and my SDM hasn't even arrived yet!
