Orion Star Blast 102mm AZ Travel Refractor Telescope

I purchased this Orion StarBlast 102mm AZ Travel Refractor Telescope from High Point scientific in October. It was a Christmas gift for a 10 year old who i ended up getting something else. To late to return it. Orion is no longer but you can still purchase the products online from other places. This list for $349 and have seen it listed for $389. High Point has a couple left at $170. I did have a problems with this but i fixed that. it had a loose lens. you pull off the dew shield and there is a ring you can tighten to fix that. I did accidently half way dropped the tube when i was doing that. Have a scratch on one spot on the tube edge with a small dent on the edge. Insult to injury i took off the lens cover when i tightened it and did not realize it was on the ground and stepped on it and broke the cover. So this is now a B stock kind of item.
