Wooden Storage Case for Takahashi 4"

With the sale of the FS102 I now can also offer the wooden storage case I built for my first Takahashi. It was built around an FC100, but essentially the 4" Taks are all similar.
It is built from a New Zealand native timber, Rimu. The rimu is what is termed "recycled" it has been used before, so there is the odd nail hole, scratch etc, giving it a used look. The lid is hinged at the rear, and I have not fitted clasps to the front, but this would be a simple matter if the new owner so required it.
Eyepiece storage racks are along the rear, and there is a compartment inside where I stored a 2" diagonal. On the right rear I made a compartment that accommodated my Denkmeier bino-viewer.
When I built it I also made a rimu frame for a piece of Baader AstroSolar Film, and this resides inside a closed/lidded compartment under the OTA tube proper. It is out of sight and protected, but available at a moments notice once the tube is out of the case.
Priced at around what the materials would cost you to do it yourself, AU$150, plus 50/50 postage which will be in the vicinity of $50 - $60.
PM me for more details etc.

Hi,

Is the case still available? If so, could you please provide me with a total price (ie case + my share of the shipping to East Fremantle, Western Australia, post code 6158).

Cheers,

Kevin Edwards

Hi Kevin,
no problem. Let me empty it out, weigh it and come back to you.
