My JMI is redundant. I have used it successfully on my 10" newt, and also my Takahashi TSA102. I am not sure what scope specifically it is designed for, but it attached without too much drama to both. At worst you may need to fabricate a suitable bracket.
Motor runs well, and the only real issue is the plastic covering is cracked, as they all seem to. Hand controller gives simple in and out. I also used this motor unit remotely via the StarMate unit, and am sure I was able to make it work with the likes of the focus routines in Maxim, or FocusMax.
I will shoot some pictures when the rain stops enough for me to go retrieve it.

Hi,
Does this have speed control, or is it a straight in/out focusser?

I'm looking for something for my WO 80mm.

Cheers,
Julian

Don't worry, I see you've answered my question in your original post...:whistle:

Jules,
if it helps, the movement starts very slowly, and if you hold the button down it then speeds up significantly. So it is sort of variable speed, but not like the old "turn a knob" variable speed models. Better in my view, having used both.

Would a reduction in price help?
Reduced to AU$100 PLUS minimal postage.

There ya go Mick,
And just to show how poor my memory is, you will note it has a focus counter, and that the case crack is on the lower side, mot easily seen. I actually had black insulation tape across the crack, but took it off to shoot the pictures.
