Astro-Physics 2.7" focuser

This AP focuser is actually from an RCOS 12, which it will bolt straight onto
(the telescope end is a flat plate with six bolt holes).

However I'm sure a savvy user could make an adapter to use it on some other type of telescope eg SCT or WO RC

Replacement value around $A500 Asking $300 including post to anywhere in Oz.

Would this have a 10:1 focusing mechanism?

That looks very tempting Peter. What is the age and condition? Does it include the 2" to 1.25" adaptor? I think I could use it on an old fashioned f15 refractor. I know D & G use this model on their achromatic refractors and 20" cassegrain.

Yes includes a 2" to 1.25 reducer. Sorry no 10:1 Age? does it matter? Current models are identical. Best guess 4 years. Like all AP stuff the action is delightfully smooth and precise.

The picture does not show the RCOS plate (has 6 holes to bolt to their RC's)
