You have already stated the model, LX200 8” Made by Meade, that’s it really, unless it’s one of the newer ACF ones, then that’s the LX200 ACF, but that one does not require the flattener, which is for sale with this, so would assume it’s the older non ACF version

Hard to put a price on it, without seeing it, or knowing how well it works and the condition, of both tube and optics…

He told me it's all in good nick .When he emails me the details I will update it.  I don't know if its the GPS version or not.

The original LX200 is now known as the Classic , to avoid confusion with the newer redesigned LX200GPS/ACF.

The Classic an have problems with duff capacitors on the circuit boards.

Look at the "dashboard" on the mount, does it say "Meade LX200 GPS" ?
