Up for sale is my two and a half year old 12" Meade Lightbridge. It is in excellent condition, with the following:
. Argo Navis, about 12 months old, with cables and adapters to computer.
. All edges and holes sealed with Estapol before assembly. The mount is totally unaffected by moisture
. Bintel 90° correct image finder.
. Heaters on secondary mirror, focuser and finder.
. Switchable tiny heater on primary mirror for those super damp nights.
. Battery Pack.
. Virgin teflon/ebony star on azimuth bearings, soooo smooth!
. Balanced tube assembly.
. Bob's knobs and springs.
. Astrozap shroud.
. Original unused 40mm 2" eyepiece.
Selling because I am going to a larger aperture.
Excellent buy at $1700.00, but for pick up only. I live about 20min west of the Melbourne CBD. PRICE NOW $1600.00. Dropped for the last time, now only $1500.00! Definitely the last drop, now $1250.00
PM replies, please.

Reason: Fix ambiguity about heaters, amend price
The eyepiece with this telescope is a 2" Meade QX Wide Angle 26mm, NOT 40mm as advised in the advertisement. I am unable to edit the advert for some reason, thus this post.
Moral of the story is open the box and have a look!
