Meade #1401 Tube Balance Weight System for 8" SCT

[royalla]

Meade #1401 Tube Balance Weight System for 8" SCT to permit the balancing of heavy or long-lever-arm accessories attached to the eyepiece-end of the telescope. Each weight assembly attaches to factory-threaded holes provided on the underside of every Meade 8" SCT. Three differing weights are supplied with each unit, permitting considerable variation in the total weight available for balancing. I would prefer for this to be picked up in the Sydney, Australia area or I can deliver it by car within the Sydney, Australia and surrounding area. Otherwise it will have to be posted within Australia. $100

Would it fit to Celestron?
How far are the screw holes?
Cheers

I'm interested in this, but I'm in Perth. If you don't get any interest in a few days or so I might pm you and talk postage. I wouldn't think the size and weight would be that much of an issue through the post, and living in Perth I'm used to having to pay postage for everything anyway.

Hi,

Are you still interested in this item? Would you like me to find out the cost of postage to Perth?

Ooh, terribly sorry, I forgot all about this. Will pm right away!

Hi Bill, can you please let me know if the Meade counterweight is still available? I'm in Sydney and off on holiday tomorrow afternoon, but I'm happy to pay now and collect after I return.

Cheers,
Tom A.
