Tube balance weight system for Meade 8"/10" SCT.
Balance heavy accessories attached to the telescope with this counterweight system that attaches easily to the factory-prepared optical tube. No drilling required. 2lb., 1 lb., and 1 lb. weights I also adapted it to a 10" Meade SCT by simply using an aluminium extender bar (not included) Some scuffing through use, but looks and works fine. Not much can go wrong with weights sliding along a bar.
$129 USD from Meade. Asking $75 plus postage (total shipping weight circa 2.5 kgs.) Can coordinate personal delivery in SE QLD
Contact via PM if interested.
