WO Megrez 80 APO telescope

An extremely rare and sought after WO Megrez 80 APO with the LOMO OK-4 lens in excellent condition. I acquired this scope in an estate sale situation from the original owners relatives. It came to me as a complete package and I would like to keep it that way. Along with the scope, in a #1550 Pelican case, was the following equipment;

WO 90° 2″ Quartz Diagonal
WO 45° 1.25″ erecting prizm
WO DCL-52 field flattener
WO 2″ extension tube
Baader Planetarium Sky Surfer V red dot finder
Thousand Oaks Glass solar filter
3 Pentax SMC XW eyepieces , 5mm, 10mm, and 20mm
A set of WO Premium tube rings and a Vixen style dovetail

All of these items are in excellent condition. A total value of around $3500.

I thought that I would never part with this scope, but because of health reasons I want it to go to a good home rather than end up on Craig’s list.

I’m asking $2000 for the complete package.
