Which one do you want? I'm working on restoring my inventory to sell...

First model year (1981) Meade 2080, with the first year 2-screw secondary collimation and super sweet only-one-year wedge with early Alt-Az adjusters. Comes with an early Acu-Trac AC drive controller. The 2080 had a worm gear too, not like the early C8s with spur gears!

First year (1988) Meade LX-6, the first DC powered Meade, first f/6.3 Meade model, with the FULL WORKING dual encoders and full hand paddle with digital readout...

First Year (1987) Celestron Powerstar, the first Celestron DC powered mount, with RA and Dec control using Vixen sourced stepper motors, and a kick-ass hand controller with focus and reticle control, speed control and a map light...

Each with era-correct cases, tripods and wedges. Weeee!!!
