**FINAL REDUCTION**

Highly rated Takahashi MT-160 F6.25 Newtonian OTA circa 1983 in very good condition, delivering legendary performance and quality craftsmanship.  

The optics and coatings are in fine shape.  I observed the shadow transit of Jupiter satellite last week and the MT-160 was a joy to use at 220x, yielding excellent contrast and resolution.  Cosmetically very nice, although the OTA is not perfect and has mulitple small dings/dents and paint chips, most of which are hidden from view by the clamshell in the middle section of the tube.  The focuser (w/rotator), 6x30 finder, clamshell and end rings are very clean and show only mild signs of use.  Everything is made of metal and the OTA weighs about 20 lbs.  

This listing includes the OTA, clamshell, finder, CRT-MT corrector (F8.3) and both 0.965"/1.25" visual back.  The EM-100 mount shown in the last picture is not included in this sale.
