Re: What to ask/check when buying a used G11?

Turn it upside down and look down into the bottom of the mount. You will see a number that indicated the date manufactured. It is somewhat coder but you can figure it out. ? Aubrey ? Sent from for Windows 10 ?

[Edited Message Follows] I am looking at a used G11 being offered locally here in Colorado with the Gemini 2 controller, owner reports that it was purchased from a college in Virginia. Can I tell the age by the SN#?? I assume there is a SN#?? I have asked for it...? It has the tripod, counterweights, etc., and is priced at $2500.? Not knowing it's age/history, I am a bit nervous moving forward with a purchase.? Advice?? It will be used for astrophotography, so good tracking behavior is something I am looking for.? I certainly don't want to have to drop an additional $500+ (or whatever) into a $2500 purchase, might as well buy new at that point.
Thanks!
Steve
