Folks, Just received a 4504 tube from Telescope Warehouse. Advertised as NEW, but I found a number of things - a dent here, indications of wear on some of the...
From what you describe I would probably call Bill as Telescope warehouse and ask him to send you another unit. I spoke to him through email last week and he ...
Bill at Telescope Warehouse will make it right with you, I'm sure. He's very well known for that. Either exchange or money back. Good luck. Wade ... From:...

I have a 4504 with Starfinder, the DC plug says 15V next to it. I want to be able to use an AC adapter and also get a car adapter for when I go on the road....
Richard, A good place to start is to check out the archives using the Search Tool at the home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Meade4504Telescopes A search...
Richard, I use a 12v car adapter with mine but it is not always reliable, especially if it is cold outside. I will get a lot of drive fault errors during cold...
... Probably. ... I wouldn't try to run a 4504 with less than a full ampere (1000 ma), and the more current available, the less chance the voltage will dip to...
I have operated it on a variety of 12 VDC sources without problem voltage wise. The mount itself left a lot to be desired (sloppy in both axis) and I switched...
Richard, Instead of the AC-to-DC adaptor, nowadays there is a (better) solution: use the self-contained Emergency Jumpstart Battery unit. 1. No exposure of AC...

In addition to downloading and reading the manual, I'd suggest that you view the instructional video that Meade provided with the 4504. You can download the...
We previously had a version of the Meade 4504 Instructional Video available for download. This was a DivX format that was nearly 90 Mb in size and required...
Hi All I have a Meade 4500 bought in the days previous to the Autostar. I just adquired na autostar at e-bay and found out that the system is not plug and play...
Christian, Not quite sure what 4500 servo motor (round connector?) you have, but the 4504 motor unit has a 8-pin square type of socket (RJ-45) which will fit...
I could be mistaken (I frequently am!), but I think Christian is referring not to the electrical connectors, but to the mechanical coupling between motor...
Hmm... If it's mechanical coupling, may be msg 8973 would help. The original factory one looks like: Files > Member's Telescope Images > Wayne's TinkerBell >...
