Meade Counterweight set

$100 + $15 postage within Aus.

New counterweight set for a 14" LX200 and is ideal for those using scopes in ALT/AZ. I am replacing it with the decidedly more expensive 3D version as I need to get a better balance in eq. mode.

If you are handy with a drill and hacksaw, then it would be easy to modify the bar for shorter scopes.

From Meade: Balance heavy accessories attached to the front or rear of the telescope with this handy tube weight that attaches easily to the factory-prepared tube of your telescope. No drilling required. Attaches in minutes using existing accessory mounting bolts on your scope. Each set includes a single three, two and one pound weight (total of six pounds) permitting considerable variation in the total weight available for balancing. Additional two pound weights available seperately, see stock number 07300. For all LX90 and LX200 models including ACF and older Schmidt-Cassagrain designs.

Hi,

I have a 14" LX200ACF on order and expect delivery sometime around end of month. Seeing your post for counter weights to suit triggered my response.

Can I assume the complete set and all the fitting components are available? if so how do you wish to proceed with payment and shipping?

Regards
Chris
