Reduced Brand New Legendary Meade 8” LX-90 ACF in Unopened Box

Very Rare. May be one of the last brand new, unopened/sealed, Ledgendary Meade 8” LX-90 ACF SC G0-To telescopes to be found anywhere. Perfect for new astronomers (it even talks to you via AudioStar). Includes transferable extended warranty worth $149 (expires Feb. 17, 2027). Last Highpoint Scientific price (now sold out) for a new LX-90 ACF with tripod was $1,999.95. Asking $1500 OBO for unopened, new  telescope with included assessories (see stock photo) and the transferable extended warranty. I have removed the used Meade Standard Field Tripod from the previous version of this ad and adjusted the asking price. Local Pickup in Kenosha, WI, is preferred but I am willing to deliver up to 40 miles away. Also, I am willing to negotiate shipping within CONUS. If you are interested in the compatible used tripod, I can provide photos and negotiate that also. Thank you for your consideration. Happy to answer any questions.
