C14 forks

[Star Hunter]

I have a set of original Celestron C14 Eq. forks + its wedge (which I had to modify for Sth use) + Ed Byers RA drive and the original C14's forks Dec tangent-arm. I even have an 800mm high 6" OD steel pier and its mounting plate as a give-away if buyer calls and collect the goods.

Also with this package is the C14 OTA fastar and Starizona Hyperstar optics. Complete package is $5,000 + shipping.

Photos will be sent to genuine enquirers.

My C14 folks are still in perfect working order.
Would you consider just selling the wedge?


Cheers Mark

Mark ... I have an original wedge (circa 1970) for the C14 with pier mounting plate that I was considering selling at some point, if Star Hunter wishes to keep his lovely package complete.

Hi Serge


Ok, we’ll see what eventuates with James.
BTW, are you located in Heidelberg in Melbourne?

Yes ..... in Melbourne.

Hi Serge.


Not quite sure if James’s sale is still active.
Are you still offering your wedge and if so how much would you be asking?


Cheers Mark

Will post photos of wedge and pier mount that I have. They came from an original circa 1971 C14. Not sure on price :thumbsup:

forgive the ignorance but what is the weight capacity of this. would it handle my 12" reflector?

[Star Hunter]

Yes, it would. How heavy is your OTA anyway? The forks will handle up to ~60kgs.

[nublet]

haha, its a 12inch bintel dob.
I'm thinking of upping the mirrors and the running gear.
