This upgrade kit modifies the declination clutch system on Meade RCX400, LX200GPS, LX200R and LX90 families
of telescopes. When installed, lightly tightening the clutch knob with two fingers is all that is required to
hold even the most unbalanced scope firmly in position. You'll no longer have to turn the declination knob
uncomfortably tight or risk having your knob popping off as you tighten it to it's breaking point. With the
EZ Clutch you have enough "feel" that can easily dial in enough declination tightness to hold the optical tube
firmly but still allow the drive to slip if you hit an end stop or an obstruction.
This kit is intended for use with all Meade 7" through 12" Schmidt-Cassegrain and Maksutov-Cassegrain
telescopes - including the LX200GPS, the LX200 Classic, the LX90, the LX50 and the LX10. It also fit the
LX200R 8", 10" and 12" scopes, as well as the 16" LX200R and LX200GPS. The kit removes most of the backlash
in Meade"s focusing system and consistently provides a light precise feel to the focuser knob.
