Posted By Joseph Vallee

I have owned a Meade 178ED since the fall of 1998. Does anyone know when the new lens cell was introduced?

Temma PC Hand Controller

Posted By Joseph Vallee

I picked up the Temma Hand Controller today getting things together waiting for the arrival of the Temma 2 mount. Does anyone know if you need two power supplies one to operate the hand controller and one for the mount itself, or does the mount get its power from the RS-232C connecter through the hand controller?

Difference in weight of TOA 130 S & 130 F

Posted By Joseph Vallee

Is there a difference in the weight of the TOA 130S and the TOA 130F optical tube assemblies? How much is added on with the 4 inch focuser. All the info I can find gives the tube weight at 22 lbs. for both.

Coupling (W)

Posted By Joseph Vallee

Does anyone know if the item on the TOA 130 F system chart known as Coupling (W) comes with the scope as standard equipment or is it optional? Its part number is TKP31003, but I cannot find it anywhere.
