A sad decision but my beloved ETX105 has to succumb to aperture fever.
This is one of the last ETX105s to be made in USA with the Ultra High Transmission Coating on the lenses. It has the Autostar goto system which has been completely overhauled by Bintel. Included in the sale is Mike Weasner's manual, 'Using the Meade ETX', subtitled '100 objects you can really see with the mighty ETX', the sturdy field tripod, a solar filter, the original Meade Super Plossl 26mm eyepiece and a foam dew shield. The original aluminium foam lined case proved to be too cumbersome so I have replaced it with the illustrated plywood case. I may be able to find the aluminium case and if I can after 3 house moves, it will be included at no extra cost. The tripod has its own canvas zipped bag. An RDF has been fitted. I would prefer local pickup as the whole lot weighs 16kg. Asking $650 but this is negotiable
