Finally I found another LX200 that the gears sound just like mine! NARLY!! But It works Most Excellent! Would changing the gears from Plastic to Brass help in the grinding noise? Please advice. Star Hunter

Have a look around. You'll find that everyone there is helpful and very kind. I'm on there...I think under the same name as I have here on YouTube.
The fee is $12. It helps pay for site traffic and hosting. It also validates you as a person interested in purchasing a nice scope. Not many spammers will pay someone $12 to post junk to a site...so that's kinda why.

If you become a member of Astromart, which I think now you have a onetime fee to join (and it's worth it).
Remember, this video shows the LX200 Classic from the 90's.
The older series, like this, will sell for $900 to $1,000 with basic accessories as it was shipped from the factory.
You can find these on Astromart under (Telescope - Catadioptric).
You can view listings w/o joining, but you can't see prices or respond to posts.
The older series are better IMO.

Where can I get it for $1000? I've just seen them above $2000.

you see what you pay for ...

It can be a very expensive hobby. Figure you'll eventually buy a few high quality eyepieces. Those can run a few hundred each. You DON'T have to spend thousands on a camera. If you're just starting out, use a Digital SLR camera like a Canon (20D, 30D, 40D or 50D).
It's like radio controlled hobbies. The model might only cost $50...but the radio, fuel, electric starter, starter battery and everything else will run hundreds.
cant they make the motors any louder?

"Takahashi scopes will make you blind "
What do you mean? Does it have to do with their very high prices?
