This is a vintage C9.25 OTA in very good condition.  This has Starbright coatings, but not the newer Starbright XLT coatings.  The corrector plate is mostly clean, especially given its age; the very tiny amounts of dust that are present will not affect the views.  The tube is also clean and unmarked. 

This is the bare OTA only - no diagonal, eyepieces, or visual back.  This is from an estate.  This comes with a custom-made, foam-lined wooden box, crafted by the previous owner.  There's also a nylon strap that goes around the tube to make carrying the scope easier.  

This is an absolute steal at just $500, and won't last.  Due to the size, weight, and bulk of this item, this is for in-store pickup only.
