In good condition, with all (orange) end caps. Thinking of downgrading (magnification-wise) to 2x Tak barlow. $125 firm.

Thats a gd barlow, which I was looking around for a few moons ago, but now....sigh! I will have to let it pass.

I have this one too. Its a discontinued model. Has been replaced by the Powermate series.
Optically good except the x2.5 can really tax your brain mentally when calculating magnifications!

Yes, you can not get this excellent barlow anymore from any shops. The next best 2.5x barlow is Powermate ($350 plus shipping). Visually, there is not much difference, if any, between the two in term of image quality (just read the reviews if you don't believe me).

So, get mine quick for only $125 and use the $225 to get yourself a premium eyepiece (such as Mooey's Tak 7.5mm LE) :-)

cheers,
