Happy New Year to all, just curious among the discussions of GoTo electronics, anyone out there own and still operate a Meade #2120 10" SCT from the early...
Hi Brian..... I just ( 2 weeks ago) gave my 2120 10" SCT to the Boy Scout Camp in Columbus, Ohio.....It was just like NEW....a fine scope I used since ...
... Thanks Bob, I didn't think they were half bad scopes myself. I'm sure by now the optics are improved, and the GoTo technology makes them attractive. I...
I have encountered similar R.a. runaway problems over the past few years with my 8" LX200. My LX200 worked fine indoors and during the summer, but as soon as...
Hi Guys, I just found this group and thought one of you might be able to help me. I have an older Meade DS-10 Reflector and need the Tangent arm (Meade part...
Thanks Christopher - I hadn't thought of that as I live in Australia but I will give it a go. Regards, Dave. ... help ... (Meade ... RA ... JIM's ... is a ... ...
Another alternative would be to enlist the help of a local machinist and actually make one yourself. Googling '"telescope" "tangent arm"' might give some...
Thx David for your comments. the mapug archive is still the place to be i think for all the meade users, not only for problems but also for "plain" info. Well...
Aye, Bob and Brian, the Scouts surely do appreciate it. I'm expecting to be up at camp with Bob's generously-given LX5 and Scout personnel in the next couple...
BUYER BEWARE !!!! On the 26th of march 2005 I ordered and paid for an FF2 focusser from: Joseph Cartolano Mercury Systems Support. After waiting for an...
Here's a hint on how to handle these kinds of things. Find a "volunteer" in the same city as (in this case) Mr. Cartolano. First, send a registered letter...
Joe hangs out and sells a lot of stuff through the Skyquest group. That might just be a way to get his attention. I have seen it done with Joe there before. It...
AMEN, to the bat action! ... From: alex To: Meade-Uncensored@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 8:08 PM Subject: [MeadeUncensored] Re: BUYER...
Thanks again Christopher - actually I made one myself and have been using it for a while but it has a few problems (movement is not fine enough, Backlash, the...
Read the group description on the home page again. Uncensored does not mean uncivilized. All stories have two sides and not hearing both is a disservice that...
... Hell Christopher et all, firstly this item was paid for through paypal, so there is no problem with proof of payment. My problem is that I am based in...
Alex, unless you have proof, your statements clearly constitute libel. You have been demoted to moderated message status accordingly. All stories have two...
I agree with Christopher totally on this. I is okay to point bad service out to all of us, but when one poster begins to suggest chasing this fellow around...
Here we go again....Alex, please get a hobby. Nearly everyone is familiar with your postings on other groups where you attempt to tear into people for no ...
E ... Joe is actually OK. Contact him and he will work it out. I went through the FF1 ordeal. Joe advertized it then it took longer than he thought. But it...
The problem with "taking him to court" is that the transaction ocurred in the state/county/city of the place of business. You cannot go to your local small...
Well, according to the dictionary, this is now a censored newsgroup. censor /verb/ 1. To examine (material) and remove parts considered harmful or improper for...
Did I miss something? Was there a threat with a baseball bat? If so, perhaps a bit of censorship is warranted. I thought the censorship was of the original...
You have never required some abject Meade Bashing to be so censored. Further, whether you know it or not, your doing this to this individual opens you up to be...
If you look at the message numbers, you'll see that two have been deleted. No one was complaining about the original post. Someone else jumped in and... well...
I'm in several groups and I moderate one, and it never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to assert that aggressive or abusive behavior is their...
