I bought this used a few years back, but only used it a few times. I've been reducing my collection recently. 
The objective was very dirty when I received it. I used the Photonic First Contact to clean it. but it didn't get it too clean.
I cleaned it recently with some fancy lens cleaner, alcohol and distilled water. A few spots wouldn't come off. I wasn't about to scrub them.
Looks like a dust spot on the inside of the objective too. I couldn't get a pic of it though.
The previous owner got quite a few scratches on the body.
I stored it in a PortaBrace bag with a bunch of desiccant, always.
The reducer had some mildew on the inside. I took it apart and cleaned it. There is some dust in between the lenses of the reducer, but I don't have a negative pressure box to clean it all again. It comes with all the pictured adapters, PortaBrace bag, Tak clamshell with the black plate. I don't think I have the screws though. The black spots on the dew shield are from the felt in the lens cover.
I have more pictures of scope and of a few objects I've taken pictures of with it, if required.
I would give a local sale preference, but would ship. Splitting the postage.
