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


 

Hi Stephen,

I'm a Losmandy mount enthusiast, I've completely disassembled them and rebuilt them for friends and club members, even total strangers who I talked into buying used Losmandy mounts and IMO for a used G11 even with a Gemini 2 that price seems high given the lack of details you have given. Any photos? Is it a classic straight drivetrain with the servos hung out in the wind? HP or standard worms? Does it have two round headed cap bolts on the elevation? Dual D/V saddle or old "D" saddle? Is it a Gemini 2-mini or a big case Gemini 2? Which tripod? FHD? Old welded center? LWT? Something else? Without looking at it and seeing the mount and tripod to evaluate what it is if you can't spend an additional $500 to resolve any hidden issues this may not be the right mount for you. Do you NEED a 60 pound payload? If not and 30 pounds for imaging is enough maybe a new GM8G would be a better option. I have one of each and they are very different animals.??
