This is a fine example of an original Quantum 6 complete.

Comes with two cases, dust cap, dew shield, leg set, University 50mm finder and instructions. 

Condition: Out of 10, Mechanically 9 - Cosmeticaly 8 - Optically 9+

Optics are free and clear of any defects. I believe silver coatings, they still look fantastic after 44 years! Mechanically, everything works as it should including the focus belt. RA and Dec are smooth and tracks well. Cosmetically, this is a used scope with the usual bumps and bruises. The RA casting has voids that have been factory filled leaving some polishing marks. Paint is in really good condition with pictures showing the worst little issues. 


Overall, this setup presents very well for its natural patina. Yes the aluminum could use some elbo grease so a lazy Saturday afternoon would make it pop. Cases are in very usable and good condition. Inside foam is very protective and does not suffer from age. Outside teak finish has the usual battle scares from taking care of the scope. Usual scratches and bumps but nothing to hamper their intened use. A good oil rub down would improve them considerably.

check out the picts and send your questions. More condition photos upon request.

I will pack... You pickup the actual shipping charges. Won't be cheap as this is heavy. CONUS only please. I can also hand deliver within California to a point. I travel to So Cal all the time. Pickup and inspection will be given preference.
