Re: [FS] 8" LX50 Forks + Wedge + Tripod

Hay Marius
Thanks for the info I think that's the mount I am going to go with for my 10"
LX50. Where did you purchase it form the price seem to be the same everywhere I
looked.

Cheers
Dave

forks+wedge+tripod for the unit. I'm hoping to sell them all as a set and will
therefore be a bit flexible and open on pricing (buyer pays shipping, this stuff
isn't light or small!). All gear works wonderfully - the wedge is missing a few
of the knobs (but the screws are there) and it's totally capable of holding the
weight. Overall, it's in great condition - compared to pics I've seen on the
internet, especially. No rust, very minor signs of use, tracking works great.
Unit has been stored in a climate controlled place at all times (other than
while being used).
