Edmund Scientific Astroscan telescope

$350?
This is one of the more unique designed telescopes. Optics appear clean, but collimation is off, and this unit is not easily collimated.
Parts missing from original product:
Carry strap
Screw for carry strap

Image 1
Unit is in excellent condition. Hand control display first appeared washed out, but this was fixed by adjusting the contrast and brightness settings in the utilities menu.
GOTO functionality seems to work well on this unit after performing a two star alignment.

Hardware seems to be in good condition and clock drive appears to be working. Corrector plate is loose, so optical system will need to be aligned, and collimating will likely be necessary. Have not made any observations with this system, so cannot speak to the optical performance.
General consensus in chat rooms is that the mount is very solid, but optics are quite bad for this telescope.

Cloudy Nights: Display Fix
Hardware appears to be fine except for the hand control display. This seems to be broke. Bypass the solar warning by pressing #5, and the control can be used to drive the telescope.
Looks like a display can be purchased and soldered on the unit for about $30(see resources). Otherwise a new hand controller will run about $200 from Meade (or you can see if you can find a used one).
