14" Truss Dob in SE Qld

PICS added.

Anyone in SE Qld feel the need to add a 14" F5 Dob to their collection. I don't use it at all and it just sits there making me feel guilty. It's a truss job of older but solid design. I'll add some photos later (when the current storms have backed off a bit). I took it in a trade because it seemed a good idea at the time - funny that!!!

It's not something I'd like to pack for transport so it is really a pickup or deliver number. Not sure about price - closest offer near a grand will get it.

Looks very interesting. May I ask how long you've had the dob and the state of the mirrors, focuser etc. That is, the general quality of the instrument and accessories. Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex, it went pretty quickly I'm afraid.
