Rough Value Please?

Could any of you please give a rough estimate on this set up? I have been offered it by someone who does not know its value and asked me to find out. Regard the set up as complete even though the pictures are missing components.

Any stabs at its value or leads on where I might enquire to find out would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Mike.

I'd inspect the optics VERY VERY carefully based on the condition issues I can see.

An HEQ5 driving that scope is REALLY pushing it too.

I'd say about $750 for the mount plus another $200 for the scope IF the mirror coatings are in good condition - otherwise buy the mount and put your own scope on it.

The new price is about $1500.So how about half that.

I'd guess $750 ALL UP.

Missing rubber grips to focuser, rusty screw/boltheads, severely deteriorated anodizing to focuser 1/25" adapter... all screaming water/humidity issues to me, which would really behest you to check those mirrors VERY VERY closely. And then it's a fair bit for an HEQ5 to push around comfortably
