I paid $900 new for this most infamous of all Meade mounts. Mine has always worked perfectly, though, unlike the horror stories I've read from others. I only used it visually and only in Alt-Az mode. It has carried a C9.25 and 8" Newtonian together many times, as seen from the attached photo at Chandler Mountain. You may have seen it there a few years ago. I have the box and all paperwork and accessories. I would like $500 delivered in the Birmingham area. You won't find another mount that can do what this one does, that is for sure.
