Losmandy G11-G2

[TrevorW]

As new just over 12 months old very solid and well built includes 240v power supply and 2 stainless steel counter weights worth $400 on their own. This mount has upgraded Maxxon motors. $3500 firm shipping extra

PM if interested

[TrevorW]

Come on no takers this is nearly $1500 under replacement cost- a bargain

[wasyoungonce]

Rob, Maxon motors are an expensive upgrade for a Gemini/G11, very expensive and very very good motors indeed. They can be as much as $300 USD each minimum, probably more like $400 ea.

As for the counterweights..probably Casady types at around $300 ea landed in Aust.

So this is not a typical package for sale.

[Bullockbob]

Fair enough. So can I expect the OPW to be included as well then, as this is the most common mechanical upgrade for the G11?

The OP doesn't mention typical PE that he is getting either. I think I would want to know that up front beforehand.


And before I get accused of some sort of flame, I am genuinely interested in a G11 (new or used).


Cheers
Rob

Do you have any photo's of the G11?

[TrevorW]

Also note this does not have the OPW but since 2009 the G11 has come standard with improved worm drives: PE +_ 5 has been cited on a lot of sites


This price is firm please do not PM me if you are expecting a give away- Thank you

The reason I am selling is to go to a more portable mount

[UniPol]

Can you tell me the cost of delivery to NSW, 2777. Cheers.

Sorry Steve would only be a guess but I'd say at least $200
