Meade ETX80 Melb dealers anyone?

[jempot (James)]

Does anyone know of any stores in melbourne (Victoria) that sell the Meade ETX80? Would prefer a physical store over an on-line one for ongoing support.

Try Bintel. They have a shop front in Melbourne.

I've corresponded this week with a guy in Sydney selling a used ETX105 PE - Personal message (PM) me if you'd like his details - he has all original boxes etc - I've decided to look at something a little larger...

Can u still get the etx80 new?

I think they come in 90 and 125mm models and both are Mak-Cass. Not listed on Bintels website. I believe Bintel are only Meade dealers in Melb with a shop front, unless any of the camera places sell em.
I'd still give Bintel a call.

Thanks all for your replies. Yes I'm after the ETX-80 AT. I'll give Bintel a try. Does anyone know if the ETX models are suitable for the southern hemisphere.
