LX200 Adapter

[l3gendluk3 (Luke)]

Hi,
I have a Meade lx200 on its original fork mount, but now have access to a new pier and an old Paramount ME (I forgot the model, but I think it was the ME II),
and I need a way to make an adapter so I can mount the OTA onto the dovetail. Has anyone had any experience with this sort of thing?

Thanks,

Luke

What width dovetail is the mount head and what size LX200 do you have?

I've not deforked, but getting a dovetail, brackets and screws for most LX200 sizes should be fairly straightforward. Bintel is one place that sells them. I don't know if you then also need some adapter - haven't dealt with a Paramount - but getting dovetails for Meade OTAs is at least fairly straightforward.
