Multi-use Telescope Carrying Case for 8" SCTs - ***Price reduction***

Hi,

I'm selling my JMI Multi-use Telescope Carrying Case for 8" SCTs - $400 pick-up. If you wish it to be sent to you, it will be at your cost. You will have to arrange for a courier to pick-up.

It is currently configured for an 8" Meade LX-90.

Please note: mount in the picture is not included. It is merely for illustrative purposes.

Rene

Here is the info from the JMI website:

Celestron (Single Fork Arm) NexStar 8 / 8i / 8 SE / 8i SE (Special Edition) (may include optional GPS accessory); Meade LX50 8", LX90 8", LX90-ACF 8"*, LX90GPS 8", LX100 8", LX200 8" (non-GPS), LX200-ACF 8", LX200GPS 8", LX200R 8"

The case includes four latches (two lockable), three steel-reinforced handles, a 2" by 26" steel hinge and die-cut foam lining with compartments for telescope, eyepieces, finder scope and accessories. The finder scope must be removed from the telescope and placed in a foam compartment. A soft bag is included for hand unit protection. The case can be carried or pulled using the attached wheels. An optional Large-Wheel Upgrade is available.

When used for the Meade LX90, the LNT Module and SmartFinder must be removed and stored in the case. A quick-release bracket is included (see picture below) for instant accurate repositioning when attaching the LNT Module. (This bracket can be used for other finders also.)

Outside dimensions of the case are approximately 31-5/8" x 21-5/8" x 13-5/8" and its empty weight is approximately 18.0 lbs. The shipping box is approximately 32-1/8" x 14-1/8" x 22-5/8" (FedEx Ground dimensional weight is 63 lbs.) and the shipping weight is approximately 23.0 lbs. All values are subject to slight changes.

NOTE
The foam for this case is manufactured with pre-cut removable strips to convert the cavity configuration from the NexStar Single Fork Arm shape, the LX90 shape to the LX50/100/200 shape. WARNING: Read the instructions carefully to determine which foam pieces to remove. If you remove the incorrect pieces, they will have to be glued back in place.
Our carrying cases are manufactured with exact-fit die-cut foam to hold the telescope as securely as possible. They can, however, be used for telescopes other than those for which they were designed. The following information is provided to help you make a decision about purchasing a case for telescopes not listed above:

The following fork-mounted telescopes should fit inside the CASEX8 with a small amount of space between the fork arms and the foam.
Celestron C8 / C8+ / Celestar 8 Deluxe / Powerstar 8 / Fastar 8 (both Original Version with non-tapered Celestar 8 style fork arms and Newer Version with tapered Ultima 9-1/4" style fork arms), Meade 2080 / 8" LX2 through LX10 / Ultima 8

The optical tube of Celestron and Meade 8" German Equatorial SCT or Newtonian telescopes (26" length maximum) will fit inside the CASEX8 loosely with extra padding needed to take up extra space, especially at one or both ends of the optical tube.
