Reflector Telescope Mirror - 8" F8 Newtonian Parabolic - Needs Work:
$97.66

This mirror is very well made. The makers name (J.C. Wilkinson) is on the back. I bought it from him twenty years ago, and build a telescope around it. It worked extremely well.
The telescope sat unused for the last ten years, and the mirror has accumulated a lot of dirt. Also, as you can see in the photo, the reflective surface has developed some kind of corrosion in several areas. One is about an inch across, the others are smaller.
I have not made any attempt to clean the mirror! I'll leave it up to the buyer to decide how best to handle it. It could be that re-surfacing is the best option.
So, if you bid on this, please be aware that the reflective surface might not be satisfactory. I think cleaning it will produce good results, but the corrosion spots might prevent excellent viewing.
The blobs on the back are silicone caulk. They are easily removed.Shipping is Free! USPS Priority Mail.
