I have decided to sell my Vixen Porta II mount, along with the JMI Train and Track motor drives, and the Kokusai Kohki Guide Handle. I am selling simply because I am doing mostly imaging from my observatory and this gear is not used. It was bought a couple of years ago from the US retailers and imported directly. It has seen little use and is in excellent condition. The complete Porta II tool set is included, and the clutches are adjustable and have been adjusted. Included are the original manual adjustment cables, and a two metre fused power lead to attach a 7AH ( or other spade connection type) battery.

The new retail value of this eqipment is:
Vixen Porta II: $399 AUD local retail (Astroshop),
JMI Train and Track: $279 USD from JMI, $399 AUD
Kokusai Kohki Guide Handle: $75 USD, $107 AUD
Total New Cost for the lot: $905 AUD plus shipping charges.

I had originally wanted to sell the items as a package but have now decided to split the package into individual sale items. The individual pricing is in the next post in this thread.
I would prefer local pickup (Lake Macquarie, NSW) but I do have the original Porta II shipping box and Train & Track box so I could possible ship to the buyer in Australia at additional cost subject to quote to your post code. PM me here on IIS if your interrested and would like a shipping quote. Be aware the original shipping box is not is great condition but does include the styrofoam supports.

Photos are attached.

Thanks

I have decided to split the package for buyers interested in single items. Should buyers be interested in just one of the package items then send me an expression of interest via PM, here are the individual item prices:

Vixen Porta II: $300
JMI Train & Track System: $300
Guide Handle: $60

Each item can be shipped individually, the top two in the original packaging. Shipping cost additional subject to post code quote.

I will need to remove the Alt and Az motors from the mount and re-attach the original handles to sell the items separately.

Once any item of the sale is sold the total package price is no longer available.

I have had expressions of interest on two of the three items on sale:

The JMI Train and Track system

and the Guide Handle.

So I consider these items to now be "Sale Pending".

The Vixen Porta II mount is still available on its own at $280 plus shipping. PM me if interested.

Of the items for sale only the very nice, clean, hardly used Vixen Porta II Alt/Az mount is still available. Photos updated below to show the control cables attached now. I am dropping the price to $290 (New Retail is $399, save $109). Postage/shipping additional based on your post code quote.
PM me if interested.

I am dropping the Vixen Porta II mount price to $270, and this is the last price drop. Will ship via road transport within Australia, at buyers expense or pickup at Lake Macquarie NSW.
