SOURCE: Meade DS-2000 Manual Doesn't have info. about Meade Ds-2130

ds-2000 refers to the model line of the scope. ds-2130 the 130 refers to the diameter of the objective lens in mm. I have a ds-2114. Where the objective lens is 114 mm in diameter. as far as the manual goes everything else should be the same.

SOURCE: Blury Meade DS 90mm refracting telescope.

Did you break the mirror? --- or did you knock it out of alignment with the small secondary mirror in the front of the tube?

Contact someone at a local astronomy club to help you with collimation on the scope if nothing is broken.

SOURCE: I purchased a Meade DS-90AT

You can use any 12 volt power pack like a car starter battery pack-- with the proper cigarette lighter style power cord.

Just buy one with a cigarette lighter style plug-in port- 12 volt-- you can find these at auto parts stores for about $49.

Meade DS 2000 Goto Reflector scope. I am looking for the base goto motor assembly housing witch houses the motor and gears. Can anybody please help?

You cannot actually get parts for this scope other than from Meade directly-- and possibly a USED motor on Ebay. Usually Meade wants you to send in the scope for repair and will not sell you any gears or motors.

I really need the the battery pack to make work my Meade DS-114AT telescope? or I just need a transformer of 12V to plug in at the outlet to the wall?

You can use a regular deep cycle 12 volt battery-- or any 12 volt car starter battery. All you need is the correct 12 volt cigarette lighter style cable for your scope.

www.scopestuff.com should have the proper 12 volt plug for your scope.

I purchased a Meade DS-90AT at a garage sale but it is missing the battery pack (the holder for 10 AA batteries). I called Meade and learned it is no longer available. Any suggestions as to what I can...

DS-2000 (90) series with #497 Autostar. Won't turn on. Replaced battery pack (8 AAs) with 9v battery and tried that and it still won't turn on. The indicator light remains dark as does the autostar...

There is a small spring inside that sometimes gets STRUCK DOWN-- this automatically turns off the internal batteries, as the scope things a separate 12volt power pack is plugged in.

Get an external 12 volt power pack and the correct 12 volt cable, and power it up.

If the light comes on and it works the switch is broken. Not really a problem as you should always run a goto scope on a separate power pack.

I just purchased a Polaris DS-60 by Meade and need a power supply and a operator & parts manual. Can you help me.

You can contact Meade for parts here:
http://www.meade.com/support/index.html

Here is the manual:
http://www.meade.com/manuals/TelescopeManuals/Reflectors/DS.pdf

It's a 12 volt power system, get the correct cigarette lighter style power plug from Meade -- it is center positive-- and use a 12 volt power pack like this one, or a car starter battery pack from Wal Mart. Make sure it has a cigarette style female plug.

Call Meade first and discuss this with them.
