Lxd75-Price Drop

I have a LXD75 that I have never used and so I think it's best that it goes on the market so that someone wanting a good priced goto eq can have a shot at it.
I bought it S/H from Hands On Optics about 18 months ago for $450+shipping and will pass it on for $400+shipping
I have had it on and it functions, and a terrestrial alignment was a very smooth operation. Beyond that though I cannot give any details, or assurances. There is no reason to doubt it, just that I haven't done anything with it. My circumstances better suit a Dob and all the plans I had for this have come to naught because of those circumstance.

I am putting it up for sale, but would much prefer a Tasmanian sale since I can deliver, or meet half way with the purchaser.
I have no idea what shipping would cost but would guess a little over $100 within Tassie and a bit less than $200 interstate (depending on 23kg weight and then final dimensions of the box). However you can arrange your own shipping if that better suits you, and you can get a better price.

  • Heavy-Duty German Equatorial Mount
  • Heavy-Duty Tripod
  • AutoStar #497 Controller
  • "GO-TO" Capacity
  • a 51/5' cable I have made to fit the small rechargeable lead acid batteriess you get at hardware and auto shops that range up to 7~8amps
  • a lengthy car cigarette lighter power cable
  • the standard 4.3kg counter-weight
  • Illuminated Polar Scope

There is a ding in one of the legs that doesn't effect operations, or weaken the leg (see photo)

Price will be $400+shipping

PM me if you are interested.

Thx - Trevor
