Legendary AP quality in a classic and one of the best light-weigth GEMs - a rare AP 400 QMD. This is the NON-GOTO AP 400 and uses the Lumicon NGC-Sky Vector digital setting circles with AP factory installed digital encoders for "push-to" operation. There is no polar scope due to the RA encoder, however easy polar alignment could be obtained with a PoleMaster. The 400 QMD uses the Model 9000 Quartz Dual-Axis Micro-Drive hand control, with PEC memory correction, DEC backlash adjustment, auto-guider port, and comes with all connecting cables.
Conservatively rated to carry 18 lbs., but can handle up to 25 + lbs for visual - a 4-5" refractor or 8-10" SCT work well. It has been essentially unused since I purchased it second-hand many years ago. The mount is in excellent condition with minor cosmetic blemishes on the DEC drive cover (pictured), and all functions are very smooth. Includes the AP counterwieight shaft, one 9 lbs. AP stainless steel counterweight, saddleplate, and a very tough Pelican 1610 case, which is superior for transporting the mount with a telescoping handle and wheels.
The price is $2000 with ~ 70 lbs (32 kg) shipping paid by buyer - CONUS only. The mount does not include the pictured telescopes, tripod, or tripod adapter ring. I'm selling due to also having an AP 600E, so the seldom used 400 deserves to have a home where it wil be put to good use.
