Hi,
Well, the time has come to downsize. I would like to swap my 12 inch truss intelliscope for a 9.25 sct with xlt.
The dob has served me well and I would not get rid of it if not for the fact that it is just getting to difficult to lug around.
It is in used condition with some of the particle board exposed. There are scratches but no dents. It has an antares secondary (1/20) and collimating thumbscrews with plastic washers (from a milk container). The primary was tested by Steve Dodds and found to be very good. The problem is that an old secondary dropped on it and made a small gouge on the mirror not under the secondary shadow. It has had no effect on the images that I can see. I also have cases for the upper and lower parts as well as the trusses.
Let me know if you have a 9.25 in great condition with xlt and excellent optics. Let see if we can negotiate a trade.
I would really prefer local pickup as I don't want to ship but if you need it I will have it packed by ups or fedex (as soon as I can get to them) and insured by them. You would have to pay theĀ  cost of the packing and shipping etc. to them under your name.
