Meade Zero image-shift microfocuser WANTED

Hi,

Has anyone got a unwanted Meade #1209 Zero Image-shift microfocuser that fits Meade SCT LX200?

I realise these come standard with the complete LX200 scopes. But as I purchased mine as a OTA only, nothing else comes with it. So if there is someone out there who is not going to use their microfocuser, and would sell it name your price.

Thank.

Lester, I don't use mine anymore, as I use a Crayford Focuser instead with my 10" LX200GPS. It has only been used for about 6 months. Please PM me to indicate how much you'd be happy to part with for it.

Just make sure it is the stand alone Meade Microfocuser...not the standard Meade LX200 microfocuser you plug into the Fork mount.

Remember he only has the OTA not the fork mount with the control panel.

I personaly would go for an after market electric focuser then the Meade for the price of them...but thats your call.

Thanks Striker

Yeah Striker, I just sorted that out with Lester, mine is the type that plugs into the LX200 computer and is controlled via the LX200 hand set, so it won't work for Lester.

Hope you find something that suits your purposes, Lester.
