Meade RCX400 14” What to do!Posted By Rolando Chavez |
Hi Gary, List it it complete at first with an offer to part out if it doesn't sell. But, if de-forked and dovetail plate installed, you have a greater chance of selling. Then the fork could be parted out for replacement parts since Meade is no longer.Originally Posted by Gary HandI have an unusual situation. Twelve years, I loaned a Meade RCX400 14” to an observatory with the provision that when they no longer use it. Return it, and they have. Twelve years ago I could pick it up, no longer. It has the ACF optics and UHTC coatings. The optics were sealed and in excellent shape. Electronics work. The rest show the usual wear.
What do I do?
Do I sell it as is? Do I spruce it up Do I defork it or do I part it out?
I appreciate your advice.
