Astro-Physics AP900GTO w upgraded chip

Another of many newly listed items going up this month. Check out my other adds and more to follow!

This AP900 equatorial mount is in great condition. I bought this from the original owner along with a bunch of other telescopes and accessories as he was downsizing. So, it is essentially a single owner item. It has the cp3 control box, with upgraded v2 chip (which allows for computer control and advanced modeling and software communication for much tighter tracking, including unguided tracking). 

70lb payload. This come with two 18lb counter weights and one 22lb counterweight and shaft. A few cosmetic blemishes but not dents or problems. The cord for the hand controller has some insulation wear and tear in a few spots (see photos) but works fine. If it ever becomes a problem, AP service department repairs this particular issue, or you can plug in a serial to USB cable to the mount and operate it completely with a computer now that it has the V2 chip installed. Not many 70lb payload mounts have the finesse and quality of an AP900. Includes power cords to connect the control board to the ra and dec motors. Also includes cigarette adapter power cord as well as an ac adapter power cord. Both are in ok, fully functioning condition with their ends starting to show some insulation gaps. If were to use this, I would just electrical tape it so it wouldn't continue to flex at the joints. Hand set has been updated to the V12.4 edition firmware.

Pickup in eastern PA, or shipping plus PP fees added. Also I will bring this to the New Jersey Astronomical Association's Observatory open house and astronomy flea market on Sept 19th for a reduction of $200, if you want to pick it up there! Flyer shared for reference.
