SOLD - JMI Motofocus

My JMI is redundant. I have used it successfully on my 10" newt, and also my Takahashi TSA102. I am not sure what scope specifically it is designed for, but it attached without too much drama to both. At worst you may need to fabricate a suitable bracket.
Motor runs well, and the only real issue is the plastic covering is cracked, as they all seem to. Hand controller gives simple in and out. I also used this motor unit remotely via the StarMate unit, and am sure I was able to make it work with the likes of the focus routines in Maxim, or FocusMax.
I will shoot some pictures when the rain stops enough for me to go retrieve it.

Hi,
Does this have speed control, or is it a straight in/out focusser?

I'm looking for something for my WO 80mm.

Cheers,
Julian

Jules,
if it helps, the movement starts very slowly, and if you hold the button down it then speeds up significantly. So it is sort of variable speed, but not like the old "turn a knob" variable speed models. Better in my view, having used both.

Would a reduction in price help?
Reduced to AU$100 PLUS minimal postage.

There ya go Mick,
And just to show how poor my memory is, you will note it has a focus counter, and that the case crack is on the lower side, mot easily seen. I actually had black insulation tape across the crack, but took it off to shoot the pictures.
