Hello, I have ETX 105PE. Recently managed to buy a Meade's 3.3 Focal reducer, but without the variable T-Adapter. So my questions are two - to connect the FR...

Yes you will need the Meade 07036. Celestron also sold these for the C90. They called it a Large Accessory Adapter (LAR). Appogee used to bring one in from...
Thank you very much Geo! I'll buy one ETX to SCT and one low profile SCT to T. I already have the Meade #64 adapter so I'll have small extension tube because...
I've finally managed to get inside my ETX arms and located the problem. It seams fairly obvious that I need a new right OTA support as documented in the ETX...
Find a friend with a lathe. The hub is no big deal and the arm looks like a reworked standard channel extrusion. The hard bit is broaching (cutting) the keyway...
Hi George, thanks for your detailed advice. I am a practical person but metal working is not something I have any experience with or know anybody with the...
I haven't been able to image much lately and since I also have a DSI Pro that I use, I've decided to part with my DSI Color. I've put it up on eBay and thought...
I just purchased an ETX-70EC on Ebay and the unit malfuctions. The servo motors function but I cannot lock the Dec axis clutch to engage the servos (the Az...
I just received an ETX-70EC that I purchased on Ebay. It was malfunctioning when it arrived; the scope if free moving in the Dec/Alt axis. The servo motors...

Hi George. Thanks for the reply. I took it apart (you don't want to know how) and the gear that should engage the worm gear is frozen on the plastic shaft. Not...
Does anyone have a source or know where I can find an adapter to use a standard 1.25" diagonal on a Meade ETX90 or ETX125? Scopetronix use to have them - they...
I used to own an EXT-90 and recently a person with a new ETX-60AT had a couple of questions for me. I'm not that familiar with the 60AT but back when I had my...
Don't know if this will help you but the Orion 1.25" diagonal #08295 that came with my short-tube 80 threads directly onto the back of my ETX125. Phillip...
Yes, the #497 AutoStar (has number keys on the keypad) works on the ETX-60/70/80/90/105/125 as long as it has a reasonably current ROM (since the ETX-60/70 was...
