Ugh...I just bought my first scope in probably 18 years. An 8 inch LX200 Classic (circa 1993) with lots of accessories.

I only bought it because it was soooooo cheap, needs work but nothing I haven't done to these scopes before.
Had it home for 3 hours, and it's in pieces!



That is every piece of electronics in the thing, it's pretty simple. Now, to figure out why it doesn't move...
Fix the controller, strip both drives down and rebuild them, tear the OTA apart, clean and align everything, basically supercharge the scope, then sell it. Rinse and repeat.
