Hi, I have a Williams Optics 66mm ED Doublet that is 2 months old and in Mint/New condition, it comes with a aluminium case, WO 99% Dialectric diagonal and WO RDF, warranty, instructions etc. I am buying a go-to mount for my Meade SCT.

The warranty is still valid if I sell the scope to you, I remember this as another one of these was for sale once and WO confirmed that the warranty is transferable.

You can buy the bits at andrews for $719 for the scope + $129 for the RDF, thats a total of $848 new. You can have the lot for $600. PM me if you are interested. Alex

Hi Alex, Thanks very much for the offer, but im going to stick out for a Fluorite Glass Scope as id like to try the difference if any of one of these to an ED80 which I have, also the smaller objective will yeild a wider field, have you tried the WO .8 reducer at all.cheers....Jim
