[Chaos-l] brother can you spare an eyepiece holder?

[john.6.miller at gsk.com]

I have a spare 1.25" visual back and diagonal for a Celestron 8.  I think 
the threading is universal and it should also fit the meade but I am not 
positive.  I also have spare eyepieces (25mm and 10mm Plossls). I might 
also have an extra 6x30 finder laying around. You are welcome to borrow 
all of this for outreach use.  Let me know if you are interested.

It's a longshot, but does anyone have a spare eyepiece holder for a
casegrain telescope?

The nice folks at Morehead have loaned me a pair of fork mount Meade
telescopes for use at outreach events.   This includes a 3.5" ETX90
and an 8" LX200 with an equatorial wedge. I'd love to get them up and
running for the event at Efland Cheeks Elementary this week but
missing parts make that hard for the big one.

The ETX looks ready to go but the LX200 is without an eyepiece holder,
eyepieces, viewfinder, power supply, or keypad.Even without the goto
electronics and power, the LX200 should be usable if I can track down
an eyepiece holder.  Looking at the manual it is a Meade #918 Diagonal
Prism (1.25").
