[dannat (Daniel)]

i have just received a secondhand em-10 with original plastic battery case which takes 8-D cells.can i use this with my sealed 12V battery without hassles?

Standard Non-GoTo EM10 can run on 12-24Vdc 0.25A..so yep you can.

I think something like the VSAD-TAK8 would do the trick: http://www.admaccessories.com/V_Series_Saddle.htm. Check the dimensions to be sure... I have an EM-200 which I think is the same configuration as the EM-10.

Cheers,
Rick.

Hi Daniel,

Most Tak owners opt either for the Takahashi Tube Holders which bolt directly onto the mount or the Losmandy D Saddle to mount their scopes. Anacortes in the US does have the M-210 Vixen style saddle Plate. The M-210 saddle plate attaches directly to the Takahashi mount two hole pattern (EM-10/11, EM-200, EM-400). The saddle plate will accept all Vixen tyle narrow dovetails. Rick has also put up an interesting option from ADM.

Cheers,

Hans
