I have recently picked up 3 different 4.5" scopes from garage sales/craigslist, all for $40 or less each. The first was a 4450 on an EQ-2, the second was a...
I recently purchased the 114eq-dh telescope from a pawnshop in great shape including the manual but missing the motors/controller/software and the accessory...
Not sure which scope you have without pictures. Bill Vorce, Telescope Warehouse (scopehed1 on Ebay) carries many meade trays. Motors/control are another...

This is the 114 4501 DH electronic controller RA only motor manual. This describes the connection of the motor and operation of the simple hand controller. ...
As Brian says the DH motors are hens teeth. I have a few trays I picked up from Bill Vorce. There really was no software sold with the scope, but I may have a...
Before you invest a lot in that scope, you might check that the optics of that 114 OTA are as good as you might like. I have one of them and a DS version,...
Hey guys, I have a Meade 114-eq scope/mount and I'm sick of ripping through batteries every time I turn around. The battery pack makes 15 V and about 1.5A. I...
Try Radio Shack. You can also use a car battery. I usually use my scope right next to the car, so all it would take is a little wire, a couple clamps, and a...
Hey, DONE! I did hit up radio shack and they did have what I needed, and I used a multimeter to verify polarity before even looking for the adapter. ALL IS...
Just picked up a 114EQ-DH4 from ebay, and it seems to be in pretty good shape. All the parts are there, and the electronics seem to have been never used. Out...
turns out the RA Axis Plastic Adapter and the Aluminum Shaft are missing (parts 2 and 3 from Figure 11 on page 12 of the manual). The motors tested good, so...
Brian, Thanks for the drive motor tip. A few years ago I rescued a 114mm Model 4495C from a yard sale for $8. Built a tripod and refurbed the EQ2 and...
Inspired by new astronomy buddy I'm taking the mothballs off my 4504, and was wondering if it is possible to run the motors off the electric(we call it mains...
Don't be fooled by ten 1.5V batteries. The scope runs just fine on 12V or anything between 12 and 15 volts. Any transformer that will give at least 12V while...
Like Jerry, i use an automobile's rechargable "JumpStart" battery pack to run my LX200gps. As a mains supply, you want something that will supply 12 to 15v ...
One more thing... be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN you hook up the connector with the correct polarity. The wrong polarity will fry your electronics.... and a fuse won't...
Well the fuse should blow after meltdown create a short to ground:) Seriously, whether the circuits will be damaged depends on the capacity of the protective...
Pi: Well, we hope the fuse will blow first. I wouldn't want to take the chance, though. I wouldn't want those protective diodes to act as fuses..... ...
is there a specific 505 controller cable set for the 114EQ-DH4 and I am also looking for the battery pack. The one I have is cracked in several places. Thanks...
Ended up getting a partial refund on the telescope, and purchased another for parts. I also picked up the focuser back from Siebert Optics, and am waiting for...
Hi, I just got a Meade 114EQ-DH4 and I'm looking for: 1. ac power supply 2. 505 controller kit for this model (the cd that came with it said to order the 505...

... Those two questions are related. You probably have the original "Starfinder" controller. If it does NOT have a numeric keypad, that's the case. A...
Hello Dick, Many thanks for the time you took to reply. You provided me with a lot of good info to go on. You are right, starfinder controler, no keypad....
