Meade LX50 wedge with LX90 adapter plate included.
Bought this wedge 2nd hand from a member on this forum. Additionally I purchased the LX90 adapter plate to use with this wedge (retail $82 from Astro Optical). Recently upgraded to the HEQ5 so selling this off.
Please note the following:
1. This wedge can be used with a LX90, however please note that some LX90 field tripod head base does not flush with the wedge body base, need to make a spacer for the azimuth control as shown in this doc:

2. The compass knob is damaged and no longer working
3. The bubble level is missing
Other than that, it has all the required nuts & bolts to mount onto the tripod and adapter plate to the LX90.
Asking $120 for both.
As the item is heavy and I dont have the box for it, prefer local pickup. I can deliver if within 50km of the Sydney CBD.
Can accept payment by Paypal, direct deposit or cash on pickup/delivery.
