Orbitor 9000s reflector

[jamieren]

Hiya fellas! It's been a while since I was on this site, perhaps you all missed me? Anyway I sold my 12" dob (it was just too big and awkward to use) and I happened to find a 6" reflector on a local classifed site. It is a Sears brand (shudder?) but I'm thinking 6" must be one of the best they have to offer. It's $100 asking price is negotiable, the guy even offered to barter with me so it could cost nothing. I just wanted to know if anyone has any info on these? The mount looks solid and the scope itself looks to be in great shape. After some searching I found a bit of info on lesser scopes (4" reflectors) by the same manufacturer and it looks like it accepts 1.25" eyepieces at least. Now I know some of you will say to avoid this as it's department store rubbish, but how bad can a 6" scope be?
