I PULLED THE TRIGGER

I MADE THE SWITCH. MY C9.25 WITH ASGT FOR THE 12.5 TEETER
DOB. I MET A FELLOW ASTROMARTER AT THE AGREED UPON HALF WAY
POINT. AT FIRST GLANCE OF THE TEETER DOB I WAS DIS-APPOINTED IN THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE SCOPE.
IT APPEARED FUNCTIONALLY IN GOOD SHAPE WITH NO MAJOR
REPAIRS NEEDED BUT ITS PHYSICAL APPEARANCE NEEDED AN
UPDATING. MY SCOPE, MY TRADE, WAS IN ABSOLUTE PERFECT
PHYSICAL AND FUNCTIONAL CONDITION AND I FELT I WAS GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK. SO, I RE-NEGOTIONATED ON THE SPOT FOR ENOUGH CASH, (GOTTA LOVE THOSE ATM'S) TO RE-DUE WHAT I FELT WAS NEEDED ALONG WITH A NEW FOCUSER, NEW FINDER, AND RE-COATED PRIMARY.
I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE SCOPE AND WILL SEND BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES WHEN ITS COMPLETED.
CANT WAIT TO GET IT UNDER THE STARS.

I KNOW. I WAS JUST GOING TO CHANGE THE FOCUSER AND
TRY IT OUT. THE BEARINGS ON IT WERE SHOT. YOU ALMOST NEEDED PLYERS TO TURN THE KNOB. BUT THEN ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER, BEFORE I NEW IT, IT WAS APART IN PIECES IN MY GARAGE.

Hi Victor,
Well, welcome to the club! I have refinished a few Dobs and it was always fun. You can make it look any way you want, that is one of the neat things about Dobs.
Let us get a look at it when you can take a picture.
