110% Complete with All Accessories in Original Boxes plus Orion Shorty Barlow and 45 Degree Erect Image Diagonal
Never Used - Set Up Once by Previous Owner
I replaced all the metal set screws with the appropriate nylon screw; originals included.
Objective lens has a collimatable lens cell and collimating eyepiece.
The receipt shows an Orion 1-1/4" Variable Polarizer - Sorry, I'm keeping this.
Only several minor marks on Tripod, Dovetail and Eyepiece
- There's a small ding on one of the tripod legs.
- The top of the tripod has some missing paint.
- The 25mm Plossol eyepiece has 2 small marks made by set screws
- A few small marks on the dovetail
All remaining items only opened to photograph
I have over 70 photos total (including close up images of all the marks), please contact me and I'll provide them separately.
I have photos of every individual piece in & out of the boxes.
There were no signs that anything other than the Scope, Tripod and Equatorial were touched.
There was a ring of undisturbed dust on the dew shield where the cover is located - I don't believe the cover was ever removed from the dew shield before I did to photograph it.
Original Purchase Date 12/20/2006 (Receipt + All Paperwork Included)
20 Year Old Scope New in the Boxes
Not Sure if Large Box is Original and Outer Sleeve Missing but All Boxes with Individual Pieces Original
I purchased believing there was only the scope, equatorial head and tripod - nothing else was in the photos.
I was very surprised when the large box was brought out and even more surprised to find it not only 100% complete but New as well!
I have an old Orion Astroview Equatorial Head (Pre-Dovetail) that I was going to replace with the Dovetail Version and use the old counter weight, shaft, etc.
I've been getting rid of most the large & heavy astronomy items.
I have serious back problems and can only handle lifting lighter scopes and mounts and I don't anticipate any improvement.
I know I'll likely never see another one of these in this condition. but I already have more scopes than I can use and this deserves to be used, not sitting another 20 years in the box.
