meade lx90 help

[xtcdean]

hi dose anyone have any experience with these, i have seen a few come up recently on EQ wedge at a fairly good price but they dont seem to have any handsets with them, do they come with the motors as standard and just need the handsets or can you control them via pc, 

i want to do some imaging and think they look great like EDD209 from robo-cop!, i think also i read they have issues with motors.

thanks in advance

These scopes came with a hand box controller for basic tracking and slewing but not goto or built in computer. I have an LX 6 which is basically the same and they will track on the wedge, if polar aligned, without a hand box if you connect the power and switch on. These scopes are getting old though and the drive motor ect might have died by now.
