Hi All. Items Sold, Thank You
Recently I was given free of charge two Meade telescopes, with tripods, and Autostar Hand Controllers, plus a third Hand Controller
These units are brand new, and have never been used, but are shop soiled stock, and some bits are missing, and broken, but would be handy for parts or someone willing to repair them.
The damage is minor, on both units.
First we have a Meade 70mm Refractor and tripod, and controller, the only thing wrong with this unit is that the teeth on the racking focuser are worn in one spot.
I have noticed that they are plastic, and presume that it was tried many times in the shop while locked, hence the teeth were broken off.
The second is a 4 inch reflector, which actually is quite good, however the clamp that holds it to the mount arm is missing, you will see what i mean in the pics below, and the battery compartment cover is missing.
It would be easy enough to make one good unit out of the pair of them.
I would prefer that both units go at the same time to reduce postage, which the winner will have to cover, pick up is also welcome, and any funds raised will be given to Mike, at IIS.
So if you need them, or can fix them,have a bid.
Bidding closes on Sunday evening at 6.00 pm.
Any questions please PM me, and i will see if i can answer them.
To the winning bidder, I will be glad to pack and post them for you, if you will cover the postage cost.
Lets start at 20.00 dollars the lot, and see what happens.
Leon :thumbsup:
Sorry, just an edit to this post, although not heavy, I expect because of the size of the postage box, the cost for postage could range between 30 - 40 dollars, that is just a guess.
