I was asked to sell this Meade ETX-80 backpack scope for my neighbour who is raising money for the Cancer Council via the "****Box" (where ****Box is "s.h.i.t.b.o.x" rally, didn't notice this until I posted as it was automatically replaced, I apologise for any offense, but this is what it is called, URL also has the same change),
http://www.****boxrally.com.au/. All proceeds from the sale will go directly to his fund raising. Apparently, the scope was an unwanted Christmas present a few years ago to another person, who has since lost some of the parts (noted below) and gave my neighbour the scope to see what he can get for it.
This is a link to the scope on the Meade site,

The scope consists of:
Tripod, seems to be in good condition.
Scope, no lens cover or dew shield, little bit of dust on the objective.
Eyepiece, series 4000 Super Plossl, 26mm, bit of dust on the lenses, rubber eyecup broken on one side, visible on photo.
Backpack bag.
NO controller, AC adapter, no software CD.
The scope is being sold on an "as is basis". It may be suitable for someone who already has a suitable hand controller (AutoStar #494).
Prefer pickup, but I might be able to find something to put it in.
Asking price $70...ONO? Plus postage/delivery if necessary.
Thanks
Trevor
