The add says it has dents. I would want to know condition of mirror coatings before paying $900. He does say best offer.
I saw the ad. 16" mirror, sounds like a great deal to me. If I had the
money and space lol.....

This one or one just like it was purchased recently from NPS in Salt Lake. He paid much less on an E-bay auction but it is still not a bad price.
Again, I am not sure that this is the very same one but I'll bet it has the same kind of history.
Now if it were an 8" refractor that would be a different story.

Has anyone seen this ad on KSL.com (http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=8880041&cat=&lpid= ). Doesn't seem like a bad deal IF the mirror is in decent shape (perhaps needs a cleaning) and a pole or two may need replacing. I thought about going by and taking a look but decided that with my back, a 16 is too big !). Anyway, any thoughts on it?
