Listing description

Product description

Bushnell Rotary Power 565x astronomical telescope offered here as a grab-and-fix or parts project. The lot includes the main optical tube marked Bushnell, the adjustable tripod, mount head and accessory tray plus several small eyepieces and the original printed box (box is torn/taped). Components are shown disassembled on the table and the tube and tripod carry visible surface scuffs — the strongest visible features are the branded tube, tripod and original illustrated box that confirm the model and basic accessories.

This lot suits a hobbyist, repairer or collector who wants a low-cost beginner telescope to restore, cannibalise for parts or use for practice assembly. It’s useful for school or club projects where a donor tube, tripod and fittings are required; it will also appeal to someone looking for a spare tripod or replacement accessory parts for old Bushnell kits. The set is sold as pictured — ideal to inspect, test and complete by a willing buyer.

• What’s included: main optical tube (Bushnell labelled), tripod legs, mount head and handle, accessory tray/holders, several eyepieces (present but not labelled), assorted small plastic fittings and the original cardboard box (printed Rotary Power 565x).
• Condition: used — visible surface scuffs to tube and tripod; box present but torn, taped and worn.
• Measurements: not provided (tube and tripod pictured; please inspect photos).
• Working status: declared by warehouse as “working with faults” but not fully tested in situ.
• Optics: photos show light dust and smudges on optical surfaces — no close-up verification of lens scratches, fungus or internal haze.
• Known faults / missing: some parts are missing (uploader note); finder scope is not present or not visible; box damaged; components shown disassembled — reassembly and function check likely required.
