  1. Excellent!! Good job. Local help is always the best!!
  2. The primary mirror is held against a spring. You need to lock the mirror in place first. My 12” is the older Classic. I had mine apart when I installed the new focuser so it was very easy. You’ll need to create a mirror lock tool first. (See attached). I also attached a Moonlight Crayford focuser to minimize the amount of mirror movement. Hope this helps. Watch enough videos until your confidence is up. It’s pretty straight forward.
  3. My LX200 12” Classic did have the weight. You can see it in the back of the tube in my pictures then on my kitchen table. I flocked the tube and in that picture you can see the weight has been removed. I believe it’s the 7” and the 12”. Not sure about the others.
  4. It was easy. You can do it! If you look at my pictures you’ll see the back of the mirror has a stem that the focus knob attaches too. I cleaned and re-greased the mirror slide tube for ease of operation. There’s a video put out by Meade mods that describes the process also.
  5. Hello my LX200 12” did have a weight. I de-forked and started the cleaning/lubing process. With intent of trying it with my EQ6 Installed Peterson’s Focus kit Removed the weight I believe it was 4-6 lbs. can’t remember. I believe my OTA weight was 38lbs once completed. It worked on the EQ 6 but it looked like a big camper on a half ton pickup It’s now on a Losmandy G11
