[SOLD] Price drop!! Terriffic Takahashi EM-200 Temma2 Jr with GOTO with extras

[lorenz117]

Hello!


I'm selling my beloved EM-200 Temma2 Jr since I want to get a bigger mount. It's the Goto model. The mount is in great condition and works wonderfully. I have had zero issues with it. The excellent build quality of these mounts, the mechanical and goto accuracy, and the great polar alignment scope have been well documented, so I don't need to elaborate on it here. This is a best in class mount and i'm offering it at a very reasonable price. More information you can see here http://www.takahashi-europe.com/en/EM-200.php

In the default package you get

+ Takahashi EM-200 Temma2 Jr Goto mount
+ 2x Takahashi 5kg weights
+ Takahashi hand control
+ RS232 PC communication cable for the Temma
+ Sbig autoguider cable for the Temma
+ 2A 12V power supply
+ Vixen dovetail bracket
+ Instruction manual
+ Custom pier adaptor (easy to mount on any pier if you drill 3 holes)

If you have a Takahashi scope to put on it i'll also offer what I think is the best saddle and plate you can get, from Robin Casady
+ 8" Casady saddle for the EM-200
+ 14" Casady dovetail bar (some mounting marks but otherwise perfect)

And as a sweetener for those who can pick up and save me the trouble of packing it all up - you get the pier for free!! The pier is rock solid and was originally used to support heavy machinery.

All in all everything in the default package cost me over 7000AUD. On top of that you get the value of not dealing with international shipping, insurance and the nice people at customs. The Casady stuff cost me around 450AUD. A pier adaptor from Takahashi costs upwards of $400.

For the default package I'm asking $4100
For the default package + Casady mounting $4350

Shipping in Aus with Express Post Platinum (1 day delivery, fully insured and tracked) $75 . I'll cover the other half. If you can pickup in Melbourne (near the airport) you don't pay shipping and you get the pier included for free .

My email is lorenz@dracks.net , PM here is fine too.

IIS has no feedback system, but you can check the other stuff I've sold on here by going to my profile and checking out my posts.
and, IIS is awesome!

thanks

Lorenz,

Is any of the cabling damaged? I see a lot of insulating tape and split shroud - are the connections jerry-rigged, damaged, or???

[lorenz117]

Hi
The cabling is all perfect, including the PC cable, guider cable and handbox cable. The only cable with electrical tape is the power cable which I made to work with the dick smith power supply. The tape you see is to keep the power cable neat. Also provided is the original power cable with the alligator clips if you have a different power supply.
thanks Lorenz

Thanks.

Have you got a logged PE for this mount by any chance?

[lorenz117]

Hi I dont have a log, but I did run a pempro trial a couple of years back out of curiosity and got something around the mid 6 arcsecs +/- from memory. The factory spec for these is apparently around +/- 7 arcsecs ,but youll also see +/- 5 arcsecs advertised. So what I measured was somewhere in between. I never tried to get a more accurate number because for my sky90 I would never have a problem and never did. thanks
