Have had in my possession for many years an eight and a half inch refractor equatorial telescope with stand ,lenses,viewfinder.
It has been in my garage[covered over] but will need for the internal mirror to be cleaned and some TLC applied.
It was originally bought for our son when at college over twenty years ago when he was very interested in astronomy.at that time.
I live in the Cotswolds[Cirencester] and would like it to go to someone who would use it on a regular basis.
Anyone interested?
Regards.
Michael.

GR isn't really the place to be advertising items for sale. If you were happy to give it away, then fine.

Try placing an ad in your local paper or have you already done that? There's also ebay - if you're not confident using that site, you've probably a younger relative who could do it for you. Depending on the expected value, there's always the amateur Astronomy magazines to consider.

See if anyone here is interested in buying it - they'd probably be willing to travel to view/collect.
