This is a nice Dual-axis Wooden Platform in great
shape. It has been disassembled, cleaned, lubed and tweaked
for like-new performance. Bonus: has brand new motors installed!
Comes with a corded hand control that will give you a two-speed
slew in both RA and DEC for centering and guiding purposes.
The platform was built for a latitude of 34 degrees, but will
work well for a few degrees on either side, say 32-36 degrees.
It was originally made for a 14" Teleport Telescope, but
can be used with others, including these: 18" Obsession
UC, 15" Obsession Classic, 10--11" Teeter, 8"
Orion and a 12" Telekit. Some minor modifications might
be needed to use these telescopes optimally, and that could
be done for you before shipping at a small cost.
The platform runs off 12VDC. You can supply your own power or
get the Built-in Rechargeable Battery option for an added $120.
There is also a Polar Alignment Tool available for an added
$110.
Cost for this very nice Dual-axis Platform would be $1600. Crating/shipping
would be extra and there would be added Sales Tax to a California
address.
