I can tell you most things you might want to know. Could you be
more specific with your concerns.

One thing is the optics, Meade having sold both the f-10 and
the f-6.3 versions. The f-10's were easier to produce and had
more predictable optics. The f-6.3's had some good and somewhat
mediocre optics. The only way to know is to collimate as best
you can and to check it out.

Fork arms aren't as sturdy as the LX-50's/LX-200's.

Let me know what else I can tell you.

If you check the control panel, there is a meter to tell if current is present. That way you know at least that power is reaching the unit. (Unless the meter is faulty of course!) Next, remember that the motor runs very slowly and is a faint whirring sound. Some are so quiet as to seem inaudible. The easiest way is to lock the r.a. lever in place and leave the scope on for an hour or so- then check to see if it's moved in position on the r.a. dial.

Good luck. I hope it's okay.
