I am picking up a used LX200 this weekend. Anything in particular Ined to be looking for?

Also, what should I plan on budgeting for down the road? Anyone?

I just got a used LX200. The diagonal spins freely after tightening the nut that attaches to the back. Is it supposed to spin or is there supposed to be enough friction (washer maybe?)to stop it from rotating. I took it apart to futher examine it. All tubes into the diagonalbody are tight. The tube does not rotate in the body of the diagonal nor does the set screw slip. If I mount just the tube into the visual back and tighten the nut there is play (1/32-1/16). My guess is that there is suppose to be a thrust washer or nylon spacer between the visual mount flange and the nut flange

I called Meade today to order the washer that goes between the tube and the visual back on a LX200. Meade came back and said it was part of the diagonal and not available as a part! So I have to buy a diagonal to get a washer?
