It's not the autostar - that's too new and only applicable to the GPS and newer models.
To be honest I don't know anything about 495 vs 497. I just know it's a hand controller for the classic LX200. I think they called them the Magellan's ? .. I will find out the software version that it shows upon startup when I am next able. Perhaps that's an indication.
I now know I can buy a new one through Bintel (Meade get them made in batches as required) for about AU$390. So for second hand I'd be looking at about half that max.
