Wanted: Meade Super or Ultra Wedge for LX200 10".

Hi Bob,
I dont have a Meade wedge for sale, but I have a Milburn Wedge from the USA that I havent used since buying it second hand over a year ago. It was used for photography before I bought it, but I personally dont have the money to buy cameras etc.

Description:

Milburn Wedge (25 to 50 degrees latitude) from Bonney Lake Astroworks USA. Includes an optional handbox mount.
This is a very solid and beautiful mount, machined from Aluminium. You can't get much better than this.
This wedge is generally considered superior to the Meade Ultrawedge, which I have seen for sale at $800 in Australia.

It has some small surface marks.
The wedge works with Meade 7-12" LX200.
It has spare washers for mounting as well .

It fits my LX200GPS 10 inch.

$650 + shipping.
I can deliver to some of the Northern Suburbs of Sydney for you.
Shipping weight approx. 15Kg & will require substantial packaging. Its really heavy.

If you are interested, I can send a photo or two.

Thanks for the proposal of the Milburn wedge, which looking on their website looks very nice. Someone else has a Meade Superwedge which they will know about this weekend, which is a bit cheaper, so I'll see how that comes out, and if it falls through, I'll get back to you.

Best Regards,
Bob

Sorry Duncan,
I am showing this wedge to Bobastro tomorrow ( Thursday).

It looks like a sale will result.
But if it doesnt, I will let you know.

Thanks for your interest, but I have to follow the IIS rules of trading and give the first interested committed party first choice of purchase.
Bob Pm'd me yesterday just before you posted on Ice in Space.


Be assured I will let you know if Bob doesnt take it.

Thx again.

Geoffro.
