Having cleaned up the fungus and restored this gem on my own with some internet-savviness and some very good seeing these nights, I took my C8 out.....into my living room and point it to the moon and Saturn last Friday for a look. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RhRyUMF_A1g/VS5_PfZiryI/AAAAAAAAOV...

I stay at Bedok North too. Maybe we can ob together this week.

Times like this, I wish SG had a decent Makerspace.

Would bid on this if I have the space for the whole setup. Comes with some very nice EPs and gear.

Starting bid at 100,000yen ~1140SGD.

Say, anyone fancy just a C11 OTA?

Didn't know there's a good site at bedok south!

Perhaps I can join u once I got my gear ready and my kids asleep.

SGD 900 is pretty close to the production cost of a modern synta c8.

Hopefully its a fungus Joo Beng can handle then!

Yea, I thought of getting a more cleaner and maintained set as well but I'm a sucker for vintage stuff, especially when they come in original set. Lol

Joo Beng quoted between 200 to 250sgd, that is before seeing the condition. We'll know once he's back from his eclipse trip in April.

Got it! And indeed, he IS very responsive!
