For Sale 4.25-inch minor axis diagonal mirror mounted in cell. Bought in 1980, part of a Dobsonian mirror kit from Coulter. Coating mostly good. Dark patches are missing coating. Optical quality unknown, but I used this for many years in a 17.5-inch Dobsonian telescope. (Now using a smaller diagonal) This one is probably good for something larger than 17.5-inch f/4.5, or perhaps for a folded refractor or small coelostat. $200 Can Would consider trade for equatorial platform. Approximately 3 pounds shipping weight. Shipping included in purchase price for regular mail within North America only.

I've never touched the optics at all.....suffice to say there are a very few "tiny" specs of dust or eyelash oil or?.  Only visible under some lighting angles.  Not worthy of touching the glass in my estimation.  There is also a number of tiny polished dots along the edge of the captive screw ring from the EP retainer screw.  Other than the aforementioned specs and dots, it is cosmetically and optically near perfect.  Sorry, I've mis-placed the papers and one end cap (I've substituted an alternate), but I do have the original box.  Asking $460? ............Thanks for looking.
