Subject: Aluminum tube available.

I have one piece of aluminum tubing that I want to sell.

It is half of a long piece I got for my telescope. I had to buy the whole piece since they wouldn't cut it for me.

My half works just great for my 8 Inch F=57 Inches scope.

It is 10.0 Inches Outside Diameter, 0.095 inches wall thickness (A bit less than a tenth of an inch thick) and weighs 14 pounds. Oh, its 57.5 inches long with one end bent, and ragged. You can get a good 57 Inch long tube by cutting off the raggedy end.

I'll sell it for $20.00 plus shipping. Shipping will be about $10.00.

So for $30.00 you (Yes YOU) can get a spiffy tube that will make all those SonoTube scopes look like Concrete forms. (Hey, It was a JOKE O.K. ?)

I have looked around, and there is no more of this stuff in Minnesota.

First Email wins, although I don't want to reward people getting the undigested form, I can't think of any other way.
