What can I say?  I would not be surprised if this is the best or as good as the best 4" refractor ever made.
Only 100 were made.  This is number 10.
I have never seen such textbook diffraction rings.
I am the original owner of this pristine scope.
This is a first generation DL, so it has a black focuser.
I have tracked down a matching black finder stalk and am including a never mounted 60mm Takahashi finder.
I looked through it once, and never used it again.
There are no functional issues.
The only cosmetic issues I found are two 2mm superficial scratches - they are hard to picture.
The lens cap has a faint smudge on it.
It will ship in it's original triple box via 2-day Fedex as Takahashi requires.
Buyer gets first pick (for additional costs): K-astec rings, Baader click lock adapter for focuser, Baader click lock for focuser, Baader prism BBHS diagonal with click lock adapter, and the awesome moonraker rings/counterweight/finder set pictured.
