I am about to upgrade my Moonlight focuser from a DC motor to stepper motor. This unit is in mint condition (used about half a dozen times) and has the 1.5" draw tube and tall focal reducer upper flange. I can order my new focuser so that it has the lower flange that you want for your scope and I'll just change over the flanges for my scope.
At the moment I'm asking $400 for the focuser and dc motor and hand controller. This is a saving of $100 over the order price from the states.
Please pm me if interested. The colour of the focuser is red and postage is included.

UPDATED WITH PRICE DROP
Had a great offer from Ron at moonlight in regards to my focuser which I'm considering shipping back to him for upgrading. But before I do I thought I would drop the price here and do someone a favour for an as new focuser.
The price is now dropped to $350 firm shipped to you and it will last til just after Astrofest and then it's being shipped back to the US for modification to my specifications.

Which model is it Alan? i.e for what type of scope.

Andrew, the focusers are all the same. It's the lower flange which determines the scope it will fit. As I said in my post, I will order my new focuser so that it has the flange that the buyer wants and then change that lower flange on to the focuser that I'm selling so that the buyer does not need to order a lower flange from moonlight. Thus the focuser will fit any Meade, Celestron, etc SCT type scope but not a refractor or Newtonian. Currently it's on a 10" GSO RC scope.
Hope this helps
Allan

Alan, SCT vs refractor vs Newt was the question. I have to return my refractor's Moonlite to the USA to get the slip clutch upgrade to the stepper motor so a spare would have been handy.
