[Finite (John)]

HI folks, John from the Waikato in NZ here. This is my first post so thanks for letting me into the forum. I must apologise my first post is an unglorified cry for help! I've recently got a LX50 (10") scope, having dabbled over the years with old newtonians, so am feeling quite chuffed, enjoying looking at it sitting imposingly in the hallway! To me it's neat, though it's an old clunker to most (rather like myself I suspect!) Anyway, it was the right price (for NZ) so into it. Now I'm hoping for some clever people to point me in the direction of where I might get a circuit diagram for the Magellan II handset which came with it. I've not had a lot of luck,- hang on, I mean I've had NO luck,- finding a circuit diagram anywhere on the internet.

The handsets problem is the LCD readout is super faint, can't read it. Sometimes is just visible though. The first time I connected it up to a portable power pack it lit up full strength immediately but subsequent times connecting it up it was back to being too faint again! It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to get it sorted, so looking for advice....I'm not electrically smart, but want to get it to a repair place, hence a diagram would be helpful.

cheers,

Finite
