I went there and could not find a manual for the 4420. However, I saw at another website that the 4420 was renamed after several years to the 4500, the only...
Thanks. I found out from another website that the 4420 was later renamed the 4500 which I did find the manual for at the website. So now I am one step closer...
Edwin I have a 4500. Flex cables are available at telescope warehouse and other places pretty cheap. You won't have any trouble there. The 4500 has another...
... Forgot to add. You don't need a thumbnut here, just any old bolt that fits. Counterweights are never moved again once set. If you don't have a crescent...
If your 4500 has a 2" focuser, then you just need to change the end piece. Meade will send you one for free if you call them. (At least they have been) Just...

Edwin, Mine is a 4501. I have never seen another one just like it as mine has a 2" focuser. Bill at TW sold it to me last year and he even through in the 2"...
Well I contacted Meade today. Got in touch with a real person within about 5 minutes. He looked around and found their last copy of the 4420 manual which he...
... I'm glad to hear that Meade took care of you, so far my experiences have been good with them. You mentioned that your mirrors are dirty, a word of caution...

Hi All, I just aquired a Meade Model 4495C in a yard sale. It was missing the tripod and ep's and except for a broken finder seemed undamaged. I have...
$200 is a good deal for that. I have the same scope that I got from a yard sale for $100. I've since upgraded it with a few things like a Crayford focuser, a...
Hi Again, I have removed the primary and secondary mirrors and cleaned them as described in the Sky & Telescope link in the Files section. The primary turned...
... Mel, You can get a 28mm m.a. secondary from Scopetronix.com for $9.95 + $8.00 shipping. Part number is STSM28. It even has higher reflectivity than the...
