Meade LXD55 mount with autostar and LPI

[traveller]

Meade LXD55 mount package for sale, package includes: mount, tripod (the weakest point IMHO), two counterweights, autostar 497 handset, all cables, LPI, battery pack holder, all in original Meade box.
The mount is a great visual mount, good goto and tracking. It easily handled by C8 (which is not included in this sale).
A quick search led me to believe you can autoguide using this mount http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=43366 but I have not tried it.
The mount is a good grab and go mount. It probably performs somewhere between a CG-5 and a HEQ-5 (but this is just based on my experience with my EQ-6).
If you do intend to use it for AP work I'd probably recommend upgrade of the aluminum tripod to something like the Skywatcher tripods to make it sturdier.
$400 for the lot taking consideration of the mount's age and wear and tear.
I can post at buyers expense. Inspection and pick up from Melbourne welcome.
I am also going to Snake Valley in March, so happy to deliver there by arrangement.
Thanks
Bo

Two queries so far on postage, so here are the dimensions
390 x 260 x 1200 mm box (add 5-10 mm if you want me to wrap some more cardboard around it, I don't think I can get a box big enough for double boxing)
Weight approx 23 kg according to my bathroom scales, so up it to 25 kg to be on the safe side.
My post code is 3072 for courier quotes.
Cheers
Bo

Looks like you are the third in line mate. One is keen, one is maybe. While I prefer a local sale, I need to respect those who responded first.
Cheers,
