philjay Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Ed 80 pro. Been wanting one of these for a project and FLO had a customer return OTA only for a good price. It was a return apparently because the ds focuser had rough spots. 2 minutes with an allen key and its smooth as owt?

M. Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 You are building up some nice kit Martin, good choices! Thanks, I've spent a small fortune this last month, a lot of this was funded with the money I got from selling my Honda CR 250, no regrets spending it on this hobby It's good as the missus and I can enjoy this together.

Brantuk Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yup £80 is a good price - they're £115 brand new and usually sell around £85 in pristine condition - good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the older Quartz version Martin. Its a great diagonal, very solidly built. Copes with the weight of my 1kg 31mm Nagler quite happily.
