Hi looking for a Meade ETX90 that has its electrics working OK. Really only need the drive base unit. Don't need a tripod, don't need the optical tube or the hand controller or anything else. Now where might such an item lurk, or where else might I look. No use going to a meade agency as (in NZ), they are just not interested.

Great New Year everyone.

Let me revise this

I'm actually looking for an ETX 90 that has met with an accident where perhaps the OTA is now unrepairable. My etx90 has both motor drives non operational

so i want to gather the bits up and hopefully get mine going again.

Cheers

Hi Iain,
Welcome aboard.
Try Astromart, you often see folk selling just the base sections.
