Re: motor drives available? Yeah, I'd forget about replacements. They are getting very scarce. A used Starfinder and two drives went for over $90 on eBay last week. Pull what you have off Posted - Thu Dec 17, 2009 5:03 pm	pinyachta Offline Send Email
Re: 4504 Used For $100 you can get an ETX90 RA, or a Celestron/Tasco Nexstar/Starguide 4. Both are far superior to the 4.5 Newt optically and easier to use for someone Posted - Thu Dec 17, 2009 5:00 pm	pinyachta Offline Send Email
Re: 4504 Used ... The Starfinder controller can not expand the 1100 objects. It also holds Satellite, Asteroid and Comet orbital information, and that list -can- be changed, Posted - Wed Dec 16, 2009 4:05 pm	autostaretx Offline Send Email
Re: motor drives available? You might check Meade's outlet center. Sometimes they put the parts up for sale there. Telescope Warehouse is the only other place I can think of. Bill Vorce Posted - Wed Dec 16, 2009 12:44 pm	Jerry crazyj1251 Offline Send Email
Re: 4504 Used I have found these scopes problematical. Motor faults and runaways with different motor sets and handsets, even 497s. I tried the capacitor fix, it cut down Posted - Wed Dec 16, 2009 1:18 am	tincanandstring Offline Send Email
