Takahashi NJP

Disclaimer - if you have an issue with me selling items, as has previously been shown here - could you kindly keep your comments to yourself.

I have to sell the NJP. My reasons are personal, and if you missed why previously, then I am not going to reiterate why. Additionally, my left shoulder has gone to crap again, so this is almost impossible for me to move in and out.

Mount works PERFECTLY, carries a metric tonne of equipment, tracks BETTER than a PMX out of the box (the Tak mounts do NOT support PEC, as they generally don't need it! Rather smug of Takahashi, but they are right!), with an astonishingly accurate polar scope (you WILL get VERY close to the SCP using the scope, especially using Tak's online polar finding calculator). 5 minute unguided subs - pffft. Try 10 minutes for a START. Watching the tracking graph is nonsensical - it barely damned moves. Readjust the scale to +- 5, and the graph IS flat - autoscale it (usually +-2) and you'll see small blips only

It comes with:

NJP mount head
NJP LARGE mahogany tripod legs (NON-adjustable)
NJP accessory trays x 2
BT Tech/Optcorp Losmandy puck plate
Original Tak calmshell plate adapter
Spare NJP counterweight rod
4 x NJP counterweights (4kg each)
Temma 2 control system (works impeccably)
Temma 2 hand controller
Temma PC stand-alone GOTO computer (SCARCE - sell for $500 PLUS)

With the Temma system, you either connect it to a PC and do the controlling that way, or you can use the Temma PC computer, BUT NOT SIMULATANEOUSLY with each other. Also, the hand controller must be stand alone from the PC too.

If you was a PREMIUM mount at a GREAT price, then here you go.

Terms of the deal:
1. Price is FIRM - I will NOT accept any offers.
2. Payment can be split into 2 payments, but shipment will not occur until the final payment is made
3. Price does NOT include postage - that will either be COD on your arrangement, or I can get a quote, but I am moving this only ONCE, as it is 4 large boxes in total, and it weighs a LOT. Local pickup is fine - YOU lift it

Price - EXCLUDING POSTAGE - is $4000 FIRM.

Small bump.

Will consider trade of a Vixen SXD2 or SXP (both must be omplete rigs, not just heads) and a cash adjustment for the NJP
