Willing to ship!
Freight is surprisingly inexpensive for me, as my employer let's me ship out of his factory at his rates. I'm in the middle of the country also, so not a long distance to anywhere. I can get you a freight quote, but serious prospective buyers only, please. I'm experienced at crating & palletizing & will ship primary mirror in cell well-packed separately.
May also be willing to meet halfway, for those in the central part of the country.
Here's your chance to travel back in time and purchase this all-original Heavy Duty Cave Astrola Deluxe 'B' at its late-70s selling price!
This features the signature Cave full thickness optics with Panchro coatings in beautiful condition. Mirror is scribed on the side:
CAVE OPTICAL CO
(Serial number)
f/7 59-7/8" F.L.
AUG 31, 1977
(Your opportunity to be on the Cave Serial Number registry)
Both motors working with hand control. Tube condition is superb with no discoloration. Original rack & pinion focuser.
Includes the deluxe AC/DC drive corrector with hand controller.
Only apologies are a few chips of finish, (on saddle, pedestal, & mount ONLY) as may be seen in the photos.
In short, you are unlikely to find a nicer all-original, COMPLETE kit. Particularly one that can be shipped directly to you! Good luck!
