meade lx200 gps smt ?

[Cpl1212]

My wife has a meade lx200 gps smt she inherited and is interested in selling it.  We know nothing about telescopes and are hoping for some advice on it's condition and value.

 

It's dusty,  but doesn't seem to be scratched or damaged in any way. 

What appears to be a battery cover is missing.

It has a tripod in good condition that is not pictured.

Appreciate any feedback you can provide.

You should have a keypad / Handbox that pugs into the HBX socket, knock off £100 if you don't.

If you have it, £600 to £700.

It looks like it has a third party focuser and an electronic focus unit added as well. Have you taken those into account with your estimate (probably a bit of a challenge given you can't see the brands/type)?

Yes it includes the Meade 07080 Zero Image Shift Focuser, which plugs into the Focus socket on the mount, so again needs the HBx to control it.
