Meade
LX200, LX50 LX650, and LX750 Repairs
We specialize in the component level repair of Meade LX
Series Electronics. We carry a supply of replacement parts for the main board,
power panel, and declination board. You only need to send the electronics!
All of our repairs, are done by Certified Electronic
Technicians and Engineers. The electronics are tested as a complete system and
all of the optical encoders are retuned and calibrated correctly as a system.
All you need to do is send the following parts:
Power
Panel, Power Panel to Main Board ribbon cable, Main Board, RA Motor Assembly,
Dec Motor Assembly, Dec Cable,
Hand Controller,
and Hand Controller Cable. Power Supply, Please clean all thermal grease and
mechanical grease off all components.
CAUTION:
Please send MAIN BOARD completely wrapped in TIN FOIL for static
protection! DO NOT LEAVE THIS JOB TO YOUR SHIPPING COMPANY.
Statement: We do not just repair your
electronics, we re-calibrate all the optical encoders and test each unit before
it is shipped back to you. Also, I am always available on line or by phone to
answers questions should you have any problems and generally will get back to
you within 48 hours.
Repair cost: to the electronics may vary and
will depend on the vintage and the problem (s) and
generally start at 275.00. Problems other than electronics ( i.e., RA and
DEC Motors) are NOT included in the electronic repair cost. Each motor
repair/replacement will be dealt with on an individual basis. I suggest shipping via DHL
as they are the cheapest.
We stock most electronic repair parts for this series and will try to get your repair back in
about 3 weeks ( occasionally we have to restock obsolete components and this
this will require additional repair time that we can not control.

GIVE YOURSELF DIRECTIONS !
Removing the Components is easy, replacing them in the correct order is not,
therefore, it is recommended that you document the board and wiring
placement and removal procedure, I suggest using pictures and diagrams so you
and easily replace the components.
LX200 GPS units: We are currently testing these units for repairs
and refurbishing. Some of the sub assemblies we can currently repair.
