[SIZE="Large"]***Photos of the stock 50mm finder have been added to the gallery!***[/SIZE]

This is the last scope in the hoard I bought in order to obtain my precious Borg 125SD. There's no way I can keep this and I'm really more of an apo nut at that. Not that this isn't a top planetary performer, it's just not in my plans to ever use. So without further delay, here's what's in the deal:

Both original stock hinged rings
The original mounting plate
Moonlite 2" rack and pinion with 1.25" adapter
Caps for the focuser and front aperture
All aluminum dew shield with baffles
Built in cooling fan
Dovetail shoes for a the finder and a red dot finder, or another finder (you get two!)
Very heavy duty, tri-latching with base wheels hard plastic carry case for the scope

The optics are very clean with no scratches that I can find, definitely no chips or cracks, no fungus or fogging, no coating fade, and no missing hardware or modifications to the corrector or mirror mountings. It wouldn't hurt to give this a puff of air, but it is more than clean enough for immediate use the day it arrives.
The paint on the tube has a few dirty spots, but no major scratches, definitely no dents or cracks in the paint, and no touch-ups. The front aluminum dew shield is in fantastic condition; so is the Moonlite unit.
The tiny pins in the hinged rings have surface rust, but this is very shallow rust. I don't have a wire brush that can reach them, but seriously friends, it's not a biggie. The matching gray finder is one of the finest 50mm finders I've seen in my 16+ years of being a telescope junkie. NO PART of the finder or the cast aluminum bracket is plastic. The doublet achromat objective is extremely clean and will KILL most Meade or Vixen 50mm finders. Only the Polaris-version 50mm and the UO orange 50mm are in this class for resolution. Of course the Tak 50mm are the best in my book; lol!

I'll get photos of the finder later today as my camera is drained for power right now.

This is a marvelous Mak-Newt 7-inch f/6 telescope that will give you a lifetime of pleasure and then some. And that's about it.

I will send this to anyone, but going overseas will be a spicy pricey meat-a-ball! It will come in two boxes; 1, which is the case with the optical tube, and another box for the dew shield, rings, mounting plate and finder. If wishing to use PP, 3% please or 4% if outside the country. Checks are fine. I am willing to deliver for a reasonable fee up to 300 miles one way from my home in Veradale, WA.
