Phillips ToUcam 840

Hi All

Would anyone have a Phillips ToUcam 840, with all the extra bits for sale.

best guess is maybe asimov, now he has a 900nc, the next version up of the 840k. Also Mike has a new camera coming??? Although they may keep for guiding, not sure.

For what it is worth, the $200 odd, ie camera and 1 1/4" adapter are worth the money in my opinion.

Toucams are like powermates, excellent value and get snapped up as soon as they are listed for sale. I will keep an eye out.

If you search on ebay there are a couple for sale with buy now prices...
roughly $66 excl postage......
You will then have to mod them yourself....

Yea Noelo, i have seen that, but i'm a bit hesitant to buy from overseas.
Would they be the same as from SA, for 155.00, do you think.

I don't know, I bought one during the week from another supplier on Ebay. It should turn up probably next week. I'll let you know how it goes ?

Leon,
From my point of view, the only different that goods sold in Australia compare to oversea is pirce in Aust. is way tooooooo high. I just got my 840K w/1.25'" adaptor with around AU$115 from Hong Kong and yes, the price is the only different.

Some on ebay right now.

Cheapest one is 'Buy it Now' price at AU $62.99 but postage is AU $31. Also has No adaptor, and No modification. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Philips-ToUca...QQcmdZViewItem

Keep asking in here is probably the best bet, or Astromart maybe.

leon · #12 06-07-2006, 01:54 PM

think i'll do that Ken, iv'e got plenty of time

leon · #13 06-07-2006, 01:59 PM

Ken i'm however tempted, not a bad price really, and i can always pick up an adaptor at a later date. i'll give it some thought

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #14 06-07-2006, 02:36 PM

Leon, you will need the adaptor to use the Toucam in a scope. That the bit that fits into the Focuser.

Also, make sure you buy the 840k Pro II model Toucam. I notice that there are some older models in ebay too (same price) so don't make the mistake of getting the wrong one..

leon · #15 06-07-2006, 07:23 PM

got you Ken, i'll be careful
