Includes tube rings, carry handle, re-designed 2" R&P focuser that is 100% better than the original 2" Crayford focuser, 2" diagonal and Finderscope. Description and specs available on ES website.
The quality of this scope is way above that of the Northgroup standard 127APO and can be verified by the many favourable reviews from people such as Craig Stark.
I have the original shipping boxes if needed but no metal carry case.

Hi Phil i would like to have a look at the scope, i live in ormeau 80KM away from you and looking at your scope, and a brand new ED Refractor Telescope YDT127 ED APO from China for US $900 + postage.
let me know if you have any time for me to check your scope.
I can post some pics tomorrow of the objective and the new R & P 2" focuser that has replaced the old Crayford style that used to be supplied with this model.
The R & P focuser is a much better performer than the previous Crayford and handles my Photo rig with ease......in fact I would say it performs as well as, if not better, than the one on my Tak.
Sorry! Can't afford to sell the Tak with the low prices being offered at present.
I love your enthusiasm but I know you....your a Takahashi and Vixen man thru and thru!
This scope was out last night viewing moon, planets and other objects and I am happy to say that it 'snapped' into focus with absolutely no colour fringing on any object.
You have owned one of the 'Northgroup' scopes before and stated the focus was 'soft' but this brand has a higher quality than the generic scopes.
