Counterweight - 1.8kg

Hi folks,

For sale is a 1.8kg counterweight, black in colour, to suit EQ3, EQ5, HEQ5, EQ6, etc. Condition is brand new - I've only had it a fortnight and it's never been outside the house - was used once to try and balance the OTA then put back in the bubble wrap.

Centre borehole looks to be very slightly larger than a white 5kg counterweight, but it screws in place just as snugly.

I had calculated that my OTA should balance with 2x5kg and 1x1.8kg, but I must have made a mistake somewhere, because it doesn't. I'm now using a third 5kg counterweight.

These are $49 + $15 postage from Bintel. Will sell for $35 local pickup or $49 including postage Australia-wide, which is a 30% saving.

Payment: cash or PayPal.

PM if interested.

Sold! Sold to the man in the black hat.

(In case anyone is interested, I figured out why my scope wouldn't balance as expected: I forgot to take into account the weight of the dovetail. Doh! )
