Used Takahashi EM-200 Goto Mount on Tak Wooden SE-LL tripod

This is a used Takahashi EM-200 EQ mount and Tak SE-LL wooden tripod in very good condition.  It’s an older mount, and it’s not pristine:  the mount and tripod have some wear and tear on them from normal use.  But, of course, these condition issues do not affect the operation of the mount.    

It has an optimal 33 lb. payload capacity, which can be pushed to 40 lbs.  Includes a 12V AC power adapter, handset, and 1 counterweight. It also includes a foam-lined case on wheels for the mount head, and an Orion padded case for the tripod legs.  

They don’t make these anymore, so get it while it’s here!  Please come in and take a look at this mount for yourself. 

This item does not ship; it is for in-store pickup only.  There are no returns on this item.
