For sale is a meade lx65 8 inch ACF model,scope is about 3.5 years old and is in fairly good condition.The only issue the scope has, is that the focuser does not work by focusing either clockwise or anti-clockwise to achieve focus.
Focus is now achieved by sliding the focuser in or out to obtain rough focus and I then use the G.S.O crayford 1:10 focuser to fine focus.
Once rough focus is achieved,I secure the focusing knob with a thin piece of wire to the handle,so the focusing knob does not slip.
I guess if your mechanically inclined you might be able to fix it or maybe
get it fixed at either bintel in sydney or optics central here in melbourne.
Also include is the standard 1.25 inch visual back that came with the scope.There is also a thin small blemish about 1.5 inch long on the corrector,but this does not affect the views.
Asking $800(thats about half price of a new one),cash on pick up or I can post via courier with its original box at buyers expense.
