There is a Meade Series 4000 f6.3 focal reducer for sale in the classifieds..

Would that not suit?

Not even close, it's for the older Meade's not the R or the acf

Ah... for some reason I thought the R was an older model...

Meade LX200R = Meade LX200 ACF

They seem to be selling the standard reducer for use on the ACF models???

But Meade Oz say otherwise!

This seems to be a good choice:
