WTS: Takahashi Newtonian MT130 Full Set-***WITHDRAWN

[chancy_sg]

I am selling the rare Takahashi MT130 Newtonian, one of the best standard class reflectors made.
It has become a classic, renowned for its sharpness and contrast.
Unfortunately, Takahashi has long since stopped making this outstanding MT series.

130mm aperture at f6 native, about 6kg OTA.
Both mirrors are pristine, and tube is in excellent condition.
Focuser is smooth and steady.

To complete the full setup, I have managed to find the "unobtanium" - REDUCER (F4.7)and CORRECTOR (F8), so it can be used at 3 focal lengths.
Both reducer and corrector also act as flatteners for imaging purposes.
This is truly a remarkable multi-dimensional OTA with superb Takahashi optics and engineering!

Everything is in EXCELLENT condition with pristine glass.

Inlcuded in the sale:
1) MT130 OTA with 6x30 finder scope
2) Reducer
3) Corrector
4) Takahashi 166mm rings with top plate (NEW)
5) Takahashi base plate (NEW)

**PRICE - OTA+Reducer+Corrector (items 1,2,3) = $1300
- Rings and Base plate (items 4,5) = $600 (can also be used on Epsilon130 OTA)

Asking $1800 for complete set (all items 1to5) - with certificate (as per last picture) - **REDUCED from $1900
Do PM me if interested.

PS: This is not the Epsilon130, which is an astrograph.
