I have a 6" reflecting telescope that was made by amateur astronomers (the now defunct Tamalpais Astronomical Society, I believe) in the '70s that would be great for an amateur astronomer today. The mirror was polished about 4 years ago, but might benefit from a little clean-up again. Has spotting scope, comes with heavy-duty (and just plain heavy) tripod legs and counterweight. There's also a motor for sky tracking, but frankly I'm not sure it works, and I never used it anyway. The telescope is about 5 feet tall, and weighs 30 lbs or so (not including tripod and counterweight). Probably needs a new eye piece (the current one is kind of low power), but those can be purchased.
Probably fun for astronomy clubs in the area.
Can email pics, just ask.
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
