Losmandy G11, with tripod and Gemini 1

Losmandy G11 mount, with Gemini level 1 controller, all cables, original aluminium tripod, one large counterweight, genuine Losmandy axis encoders and cables, spare motor assembly, USB and wireless serial connection for PC control. Overall in good condition for age – the black anodised aluminium is in good shape. These mounts age and perform well due to their excellent build quality and serviceable design. G11s are rated at about 27kg telescope load capacity. Parts are still available from Losmandy USA if needed, making this a good long term proposition. it's also a mount that can be further improved in performance by recent Losmandy component upgrades if you wish. Gears and original standard spec worms are also in good condition.

New clutch pads and springs recently added for RA & DEC axes, fully regreased, plus I have replaced most plastic knobs, some of which were missing or cracked when I bought it. Some steel parts and the tripod have some mild corrosion (due to outdoor exposure?) which do not affect performance (this was present when I bought it). The tripod is very sturdy with large loads, as is the mount. I have been using this G11 exclusively tethered to the SkyX software in my backyard with the USB interface, which works OK for me for goto control. Selling as this mount is now excess to current needs and am thinning the herd a little.

$1700
Pick up is preferred, but can drop at local Pack & Send, with buyer paying for all shipping costs.

thanks for looking.
