I have decided to sell my LX-90 (around 2 years old) to make way for a new scope, includes all of the following items.

Meade LX90 LNT 08" SCT

Bintel 2D Counterweight System

Bintel Scope Piggyback System

Meade #541F AC adapter

Meade #608 Dew shield for 8" SCT

Meade #909 APM for LX-90

Meade Piggyback Bracket

Meade #62 T-Adapter

Meade Equatorial Wedge LX-90

Offers around $2700 considered.

Would prefer local pickup but could send at buyers expense.

Alternatively I could deliver it as far as:

North: Brisbane
East: Town beach

South: Newcastle
West: Moree

Hello,
Might be a silly question,but does it come with a power supply? if so what type,also are there any extras that you haven't mentioned in your add.
Thanks

Meade #541F AC adapter is to run the scope from a 240v power socket, has 25ft cord. It has a cigarette lighter type fitting in the middle so it can be separated and plugged into a lighter socket.
It can also be run on 8 D cell batteries.

How much do you think it would cost to ship to Melbourne Metro?
And how does is perform in Polar mode for photos?

Portmac · #12 15-10-2007, 05:13 PM

I will try to get you a price tomorrow, I would guess it would be costly to ship.

I have not actually used it much in polar mode, me skill level with it does not do it any justice at all. When I have used it in polar mode it does track extremely well tho.

kosh · #13 16-10-2007, 12:01 PM

Thanks Portmac, hope it's not too much, we'll see.

Another couple of questions for you:

Does the unit come with GPS (I think all new LX90's do, yours may not) and does it have the UHTC coatings (it may or may not be standard at the time)?

Thanks.

MortonH · #14 16-10-2007, 01:03 PM

The LNT model is pre-GPS.

If you look carefully at the photo, you can see the words "Ultra High Contrast". i.e. UHC.

hmmm, can't seem to spot it...

Which photo are you looking at morton?

MortonH · #16 16-10-2007, 06:12 PM

The close-up of the lens. It's the wording on the left, which is very out of focus!

Morton

kosh · #17 16-10-2007, 11:09 PM

Aahh yes I saw that before but couldn't make out what it said.
Well there you go, thanks Morton.

Please note my LX90 also says UHC but this is not the same as UHTC. Mine also says EMC on the side.

Portmac · #19 17-10-2007, 08:49 PM

It does not have GPS but it does have the UHTC coatings

Hopefully tomorrow I will have a transport price, never thought getting a price would be so hard.

Anyone have any suggestions of transport companies to use?

netwolf · #20 17-10-2007, 10:15 PM

I used Airoad to bring my G-11 down from seller in QLD and it cost about 90. You have to make sure its packed well and labeled. Others quoted 2-3x as much higher and generally would only deal with Companies.
