Smile Unitron/Polarex 4" Alt-Az..Expressions of Interest

I am after "Expressions of Interest" in my Unitron/Polarex 4" Alt-Az telescope.
It is an early 1970's model. It is in very good condition, with five 0.965" E/P's, 2x barlow, and Star diagonal. It boasts a 10x40mm Finder.
Alt-az mount is very sturdy and comes with two slow motion cables + counter weight bar and counter weight (this is not original)
There is also a sturdy wooden acc tray.
I also have a 1 1/4" converter ring for the larger e/p's.
As with all Unitron/Polarex scopes, they are built solidly.
The views through the scope are brilliant.
It comes with three cases...one for the scope + acc, one for the legs and the third for the mount head.
I will be supplying more pictures at the end of next week.
The scope is in south western Sydney.

Cheers, John.

Geoff,
The mount is moved in Alt-az by hand. For finer adjustments you then use the slo-mo cables.
The extra cabling you can see in the image is for the (homemade) dew heaters.
