I'm willing to swap for a Meade Red Dot finder in "as new" condition ... provided you pay postage for the dob.

Due to the interest, I'll be now taking commissions for these premium dobs aswell as my new premium grade refractors made out of top quality components such as the cardboard inner section of a toilet roll and the smashed off end of a coke bottle.. nothing but the best!
and Fahim..thats not cracks.. the technical term is "baffles"

Darn it, I thought you had managed to salvage Hubble. The give-away was the optic offsets (obviously designed to keep them clear of the glare of the Sun). So it's SOHO, isn't it? Mate, Buddy, Pal, Old Chap, I'd love to do a deal but I'm just back from the bakery where I spent my last $1.70. Damn shame that. Good luck with the auction.

More photos please? Any warranty that it will survive shipping? But with a single curved vane spider and those novel corner-oriented baffles - it's very tempting. But I'll have to deduct the price of the black paint I'll need for touching up the silver baffles.
