Convert LX200 OTA from Alt-Az to Eq format 06 May 2024 | Trevor
I was recently donated a LX200 10 inch Classic as the owner had "fixed" the broken drive. It was certainly fixed to never work again. The OTA was in good shape, despite it 27 years age so this Dovetail was very easily fitted to the OTA ready for transfer to my NEQ6 mount. Its a good solid product with all the parts needed, though you will need appropriate Allen Keys as the mount has a mixture of Imperial and Metric parts.

It was not rocket science to fit. But there are different types of screws supplied and it is bit of a guess of which one fits what
A basic guide would have been helpful to ensure proper fitting

Bought this bar to mount my Meade LX90 8" optical tube onto my EQ mount, having 'de-forked' it. Very secure, three point attachment to the tube at each end, and very solid and secure.

This is the perfect adapter for moving from the Meade Classic fork to a modern Equitorial Mount. The radius bars fit the rim of the 10" OTA perfectly and the Losmandy size ADM bar is rigid, perfect for the weight of a 10" OTA. Although there are no instructions, it is obvious which bolt goes where. My only critique would be there are no other fixing holes for any futher accessories: weights, etc. It is probably assumed that Losmandy size clamps would be used to hold anything. Overall, an excellent product.

I can only endorse previous reviews and confirm that this is a necessary and worthwhile upgrade. Replacing the full length Vixen-style dovetail on my Meade 10" SCT has noticeably improved its stability - and my peace of mind. It's worth noting that a couple of different sized hex keys are required for fitting but a nice touch is the screw-in end stops, (at least that what I think they are!), to prevent slippage.

Really see the quality of ADM equipment! Full set of parts to replace existing (flimsy by comparison) Vixen bar with very sturdy Losmandy bar and fitting plates to SCT tube. A worthwhile upgrade

Excellent product. Does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Wish I had de-forked the Meade years ago.
Great quality and keen price 23 March 2020 | Jake
I brought this bar for my Meade LX200 14" ACF - great price, quality machined and milled out to reduce overall weight. Supplied with brackets and all fixings - great fit and excellent service from FLO.

Well made, fits perfectly onto my Meade 10" LX200GPS. Nice balance between weight and solidity. Thoroughly recommended.
