Condition: Very good condition; The telescope itself appears to be in excellent condition. The tripod has one damaged leg - the turn key to secure the leg when you extend it has broken off. The turn keys on the other 2 legs have been chewed on (our dog) but are still functional. On it's lower setting, 36", it is very stable. The plastic lens cap for the 25mm lens is cracked but stays on. There is a little bit of sticky residue around the mount of the tripod and a few of the accessories, otherwise in good shape - See photos
