Celestron Couterweight bar kit

[kaisersoze]

Hi,

 

Just bought a Celestron C6-SGT (bargain) however, it´s missing the counterweith bar and the 11lbs weight itself.

 

I´ve search on the internet and it seems to be harder than I thought to find.

 

Anyone could point me in the right direct to get this? Pic attached.

 

Thanks in advance.

now you know why it was a bargain.....

have a look on AstroBoot (https://www.astroboot.co.uk) they may have something.

You can buy the counterweights from many suppliers (though at a price for a lump of mild steel that may seem annoying), and as a last resort the bar and safety cap are simple enough to be made up from stock bar if you can get the thread size.
