Remnants of a Bintel BT-302

SOLD
OK, the time has come. It all has to go.

The remnants of my Bintel BT-302 which is a GSO 12" dobsonian reflector.

Everything there! Except:-

The base
The primary mirror
The secondary mirror and mirror holder
The trunions
The finderscope
Eyepieces
etc. etc.

(Repeating - the above are not in the package )

OK, so not that much left! But what is left may be just what you need for your project!

In summary there is :-

* A 12" f5 tube - no rust problem - with internal baffle added just above primary mirror (to direct air flow) and Televue sticker and IIS sticker!
* Dustcap
* A fitted 10:1 Crayford focusser
* A spider (philips head screws for adjusting secondary tilt (I have appropriated the Bob's knobs into a different scope)
* Flocking all around the upper tube, including a light shield that is kept in the tube on velcro, but can be pulled out and reoriented to fulfill its function.
* The primary mirror cell fitted with Bob's knobs and stronger springs
* A high quality fan mounted on a neoprene membrane which isolates any vibration and also forces all airflow around the mirror and up the tube.
* Various packing material to fit around or support the tube on transport.

Some of the information in these threads is relevant:-

$200 Pickup only in Melbourne. Either from Bundoora during the day (you need to be able to transport the big 12" f5 tube), or I could drop off early evening close to my route (Bundoora to Bacchus Marsh, around Ring Road and out the Western Highway.)

At the moment, I want to sell the lot together. If that doesn't work, I'll split the lot into parts and try again. But I will price the parts accordingly, so you get the bargain buy now for the job lot.

PM me please.

No one?

OK, 24 more hours at this price for the lot.

After that I divide it all up into separate lots and it'll cost ya more - like building a Holden from the spare parts list!

And that 12" tube may end up crushed in the metal recyclers - surely no-one wants that to happen? (Be quiet all you sct and refractor types! )

Sold

Many thanks for looking.

I'm pleased the tube will find a new home and not have to go to metal recycling!
