Hi all,
I'm stoked that I just found another scope on the roadside beside a pile of rubbish cleaned out of a local house!
Driving home after dropping off the kids at school, and I found a Tasco 114mm 900mmfl on an eq1/eq2 mount!!!
This scope was my dream scope as a 12 year old kid
It was nearly complete. Even had a modest eyepiece and red dot finder (just needed a new battery). Primary mirror needs a clean, not a big deal, and I'll put a centre spot doughnut on it. But the counterweight and bar were missing. The mount is actually in nearly new condition, and works just fine.
I would love to give away this scope. But I need the counterweight and bar. The tube cap is missing the small aperture cover too.
Might anyone have a counterweight bar to suit - the coupling to the mount is M12. And might someone have a counterweight to suit, prob 1kg?
Many thanks for looking,
Alex.
