I have this scope myself, and it's been great!

Think i saw this on eBay earlier this year.

C8 there looked liked your.
Wanted $1900
Is it the same one - with the Williams optics?

Couple of guys before me have asked for a price.
Give a range or something.
You can aways so no!

Looks big.
I'm interested.

Regards Marc.

Eye Piece.

Learning fast.
It was the Upper/lower case that got me - usual references are EP.
Thanks.

Need to come over and look at it, feel the knobs & what-not.
Once I determine the drive is fine, needs no new circuit board, that the optics are groovy, then I can do justice to an offer.

Call me on (03) 9419 7946 if this suits.
