Meade LX850 14" (Scope, GEM, Tripod) - REDUCED - $3500 for just 14" OTA

Hello. Thanks for looking at our listing.

My son and I are selling our Meade LX-850 ACF 14” telescope and German Equatorial mount. It includes most original boxes/foam and even the tripod and unused (ours is pier mounted). It includes the Starlock system as well.

It has kept in an observatory and covered 24/7. It has only been used about 10-15 times after setting it up, but we have spent more time with our smaller refractor setup. We are looking to sell it to get something slightly smaller and a bit more modern.  

We are in Columbia, South Carolina. Due to the size and weight of the telescope, we will ask any buyers to meet us at our location, but we are willing to compensate for the drive (i.e. free shipping).  

For the 14” scope, mount, tripod, Starlock we are asking $4500. $3500 for just the OTA. And preferably at least 1 adult to receive and help disassemble the telescope to load onto your vehicle. We are willing to part out the OTA or the mount if wanted, with a reduction in price ($3500). 

I am including several photos and have a video I can PM if requested. If there is anything you want confirmed or photographed in detail before making the drive just let us know.
