The Meade 2080 LX Registry (Oldest to Newest)

Owner	Model	Year	Serial	Description
Doug F.	Meade 2080	1980	800575	I just bought this 2080 from a local guy who used it twice, but took good care of it. The original owner bought it in 1980.
Fabrizio M.	Meade 2080	1981	800867	I bought my Meade 2080 (SN 800867) in 1981 , here in Italy from a local optical shop. The 2080 is in excellent condition and I have been observing the sky for more than 40 years using its fantastic optics. I replaced the original fork mount (preserved in my garage) with a Celestron Losmandy G11 (with a ASTRO-ELECTRONIC FS2 Drive Unit).
François A.	Meade 2080	1981?	800898	My dad and I bought mine I was 14, in 1981. S/N 800898! Still in excellent condition. Images are clear and pinpoint like they were in 1981. Only the diagonal got less reflective and was to upgrade.
Mathias S.	Meade 2080	1981?	801046	I recently bought a used 2080 mount with tripod which is obviously an early one.
Don I.	Meade 2080	1981	801076	Got this from a local who is the original owner. Meade 2080 s/n 801076 sold in April 1981 making it one of the earliest ever made. It's in pristine condition and came with the original manual, invoice, and even the catalog he bought it from, all also in pristine condition.
Dana G.	Meade 2080	1981?	801169	I am in possession of my mother's Meade telescope. The serial number is 801169.
Mike B.	Meade 2080	1981	801171	A very early 2080. Serial number 801171. Yes, THAT early. Manual has a Jan 1981 printing date, and an owner wrote "June 1982" on the cover, I assume that's a purchase date. It might have been the second owner!
Kris W.	Meade 2080	1981?	801196	Recently got a "New to Me" Meade 2080 S/N 801196. Glad to have found your site!
Unknown	Meade 2080	1981?	801334	Found on an astro buy/sell site. Has a 2-bolt collimation! If you bought it, let us know!
Tim W.	Meade 2080	1981?	802248	On 2/23/21 I purchased a Meade telescope from my older brother who bought it during the 80s. I am not sure what model it is but, by researching, I think it is a 2080 with serial number 802248. There is a sticker on it that states "High Transmission coating". It has a very manual tabletop mount that I can't seem to find a resemblance anywhere on the internet. [EDIT: Agreed! It is an early Meade 2080 with a tabletop mount.]
Thomas Y.	Meade 2080	1981?	802268	Am visiting Florida and bought this telescope. Wanted to send you the information for your records.
Dr. Combrinck	Meade 2080	1982?	802344	I recently came across this Beautiful telescope while doing renovations at the NWU Campus that I believe was made in 1983(?).
Dave S.	Meade 2080	1982?	802351	On 11-29-20 I purchased a MEADE 2080. The serial number is 802351. The purchase included the telescope, mount with motor drive, and tripod. The seller has lost the eyepieces, cords and other accessories while moving. The mount is missing one know that controls the angle of inclination. This leaves me searching for an instructors manual, cord and that control knob...but I have already urchased one eyepiece and have used the scope for viewing eagles near my home. From your listings it appears to have been manufactured in 1981 or 1892.
SBAU	Meade 2080	1982?	802467	Meade 2080 sn 802467 donated by RonaldW to Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit (SBAU) in 2021. Will be looking to fix slipping, probably Cramer 1/8rpm motor? as we tried to clean sliding RA surfaces but still did not work. Mirror seems very clean. (Sent by TomT, SBAU webmaster)
Tommy P.	2080 LX	1983?	803236	I just purchased a Meade 2080 LX, scope, wedge and tripod from the son of the original owner. Serial Number is 803236. It has some wear and cobwebs but I'll enjoy the restoration and use. Pic is attached.
Kyle M.	2080 LX	1983?	803271	I still have the Meade LX that my Dad gave me as a birthday gift in 1983 or 84, I can't remember if I was 13 or 14 at the time. Serial number 803271. Heres a pic of it last August 2020. Motor drive and everything else still function just fine minus some light wear and tear. Lots of deep sky objects have been seen through this over the years. It has always been stored in its original travel trunk until just a few years ago when it was replaced with a new one.
Mark S.	2080 LX	1983?	803439	Not sure what year mine is but looking at the registered serials I would assume circa 1983?
Tom D.	2080 LX	1983	803553	Picked up a Meade 2080 today (fork mounted 8" SCT), AC drive only, with a plate on the base saying "LX Drive System". Original instruction manual is dated January of 1983.
Chuck R.	2080 LX2	1984?	803730	I have what I believe may be one of the rare LX2 2080s and am happy to add it to your registry. I don't know the year of manufacture. It has a PC-like AC power port, and the larger 8x50mm refractor finderscope with a helical focus mechanism and diagonal. The optics and coatings are nearly perfect, despite its age and extensive use. The wormdrive has provided superb tracking for sharp detail with visible errors for exposures over a minute with proper alignment and no guidescope. The serial number is 803730. I bought it from a photographer who hauled it all across North America to national parks for astrophotography. I plan on deforking the OTA and mounting it on a later model LX computerized GoTo fork mount that I have recently restored.
T. Taylor	2080 LX	1984?	803952	I just bought the 2080 for $150 bucks and thought for the price I could dip my toe in the water before spending 2K or more
Barry	2080 LX2	1984	804143	I have the rare Meade 2080LX2. I bought it new in May of 1984 used it through late 80's and left the hobby. Rarely I took it out for some things; Shoemaker Levy 9 hitting Jupiter, Hale Bopp, etc.
Ron D.	2080 LX2	1984	804144	Bought it New April 2, 1984. I've used it off and on right up to the present. It has the Wedge and Tripod and a 50mm finder scope with a Telrad. I sent the optics in to Meade under their lifetime warranty sometime in 1994. It's in great shape and I'm still sharing views with my Grandkids.
Val V.	2080 LX	1984	804346	I have a Meade 2080, purchased for me as a gift in 1984 in Perth, Western Australia, and it has a 240V power cable. The serial number is 804346, on a simple flat plate.
Duane G.	2080 LX2	1984?	804426	Just purchased from man who said he bought it from a friend a few years ago who was the original owner. Purchased new in 1986 [sic].
dgreenheck	2080 LX	1984?	804791	I recently acquired a old Meade 2080 8" SCT plus mount+motor drive on Craigslist. The previous owner said he used it occasionally when he bought it, but it has been in storage for the last 10-15 years. Manual is dated 1983.
Jon H.	2080 LX2	1984?	804916	I believe it is a Meade lx2 2080. Serial number 804916. Looks like we have all the accessories as well. Thanks in advance for any help!
Unknown	2080 LX	1984?	804987	Found on eBay - if you bought it, let us know at rick@deepskies.com!
George S.	2080 LX3	1985?	805054	My Meade LX3 has all the MCOG lens enhancements available (A) Enhanced Mirror Coating Group (B) High Transmission Coating and is premo conditions and not for sale.
Fred C.	2080 LX	1985	805107	I have a pristine Meade Model 2080 8” SCT from 1985. Serial number 805107. Has original wedge, Star Drive, fork mount, mirror diagonal, finder scope, and heavy-duty tripod. The drive still works and is accurate when polar aligned.
Galen P.	2080 LX	1985	805113	I inherited this telescope from my father, took some great photos of the moon last night with an iPhone mount.
Nancy	2080 LX3	1985	805128	Hi. I have a Meade quartz lx drive telescope. The serial number is 805128.
Dennis T.	2080 LX	1985	805214	I have owned an LX 2080 (8") since 1985. Serial #: 805214
Rich G.	2080 LX	1985	805235	My name is Rich and I own this telescope 805235 . What can you tell me about it or where to get info on it? [EDIT: I told Rich it is from 1985 and sent him a link to the user manual.]
Andrew W.	2080 LX3	1985	805675	Andrew contacted us looking for info on autoguiding his LX3 for astrophotography!
Scott S.	2080 LX3	1985	805763	Picked up a mint 2080 LX3 as part of a larger lot of scopes. Even has the 1980's vintage audio cassette!!!
Jim F.	2080 LX	1985	805926	I'm a first time telescope buyer/owner and bought this 2080 LX for $300 (see attached photo). The serial number is 805926, the mirrors look clear/good but it will likely need collimating. Based on what the seller told me I'm the third owner of this scope. The only thing missing is the tripod tray. Plugged in can hear the drive system turning, we'll see how it goes over the next few weeks of looking at the sky.
James L.	2080 LX	1985	805954	I found your site via a web search. Found an old telescope on Facebook and hated to see it get thrown away. Serial number 805954 c. Looks to be the plain LX model. [EDIT: Thank you for saving that LX!]
Jeff H.	2080 LX	1985	806079	Recieved this scope: Model 2080 serial number 806079. Everything is working like new and mirrors are wonderful.
Paul	2080 LX3	1985	806201	The optics on the 8-inch look great. The electronics on the 8-inch are working fine.
Dave	2080 LX2	1985	806282	I have a Meade 2080 LX2. I'm the original owner. Purchased on June 25th 1985 in preperation of Comet Halley.
Andy N.	2080 LX3	1985	806469	I found your website after acquiring a Meade LX3. It all appears brand new. There is very little appearance of use. The serial number is 806469. There is a label that says "Multi Coated Silver Optics Group."
Trent S.	2080 LX3	1985	806584	Rick - Hey there, I'm not entirely sure what i have but its a Meade 8in LX drive system, silver coated optics group. Serial number 806584 any info would be great. Im wanting to make it goto capable, it has a plug in for the drive and no controlers, can i use an auto star 495? Any info is greatly appreciated. [EDIT: this appears to be an LX3 from 1985! Unfortunately it cannot be upgraded for GOTO and the Autostar will not work with it.]
Harald D.	2080 LX3	1985	807030	I have a Meade 2080 LX3 Teleskop, located in Germany. Date of buy 1985. It has Nr. 807030 and is with non silver opical (high transmission cotting) and still in very good condition.
Keith	2080 LX3	1985	807061	It appears to be an early 2080 LX3, #807061. I had to have the secondary recoated, and was able to improve the views by centering the secondary and rotating the corrector.
Mark N.	2080 LX3	1985	807133	My son-in law received it for in exchange for labor.
Imack C.	2080 LX3	1985	807135	I just recently purchased a Meade 2080 LX3 from an Auction. Unfortunately, the scope had the secondary mirror with the silvering peeled and have to send it out for coating with Enhanced Aluminum. Also the electronic circuit was defective. I have ordered an small inverter board and hope to get it soon from China. In the future, I am considering to replace the small synchronous motor with a small geared stepper motor and in that way I can control the speed, advance and delay via Arduino microprocessor. No need for the ancient hand control. ! The serial number on that set is 807135. Hope will be a good rig when all is repaired and calibrated!
Russ R.	2080 LX3	1985	807721	I have just purchased a Meade 8" scope on an LX3 mount. (2080?) from a guy on Craigslist. The serial number is 807721. Need a power supply and covers for the lens.
Unknown	2080 LX3	1985?	807768	Found listing on Astromart. If you own this scope, contact me at rick@deepskies.com if you'd like!
Maurice P.	2080 LX3	1985?	807822	I have the meade LX3 telescope and the serial number is 807822.
Josh P.	2080 LX3	1985?	808410	We have a Meade 2080 LX3. It was pulled from our club's storage unit and appears to be in good condition.
J.H.	Meade 2080 LX3	1985	808660	I recently purchased a Meade Quartz LX drive, serial number 808660. It has a Meade Model 38 dec motor on one side of the base. It says 'Multi-Coated Silvered Optics Group' on a plate near the (eyepiece) lens.
Omar A.	2080 LX	1985?	809144	I bought my telescope brand new in maybe in 1997 not sure. I took pictures with it for solar and lunar eclipses but have not used it a lot. Now I am ready to get very busy with it!
Michael C.	2080 LX3	1986?	809548	I just scored a used telescope from shop goodwill.com and it took me almost a year to find one of this quality and then win the auction.
Chris S.	2080 LX3	1986?	809605	I just cleaned up my LX 2080 that I got a while back and got the secondary recoated. I just have not taken it out yet. Just mounted it to a tripod dolly to make it easier to tote around. Do you know what LX it is and year based on the serial number for the registry? [EDIT: this appears to be an LX3 from 1986!]
John N.	2080 LX3	1986	810581	Just got a LX3 SN 810581 guessing 1986 vintage. Exterior of the scope and fork looks brand new, but the electronics are not working and it appears to have a replacement tripod. I think the secondary will need a recoating but everything else appears to be OK.
Thomas S.	2080 LX3	1986	810653	Meade 2080 LX3 purchased new in 1986 at the Meade parking lot sale in Costa Mesa. If I remember, it was $1199. It's been sitting in the trunk for 25 years and it is in excellent condition, except for the secondary mirror rot.
Bill G.	2080 LX3	1986	810720	In the herd is a 2080 LX3 S/N 810720 silvered optical group purchased new in the summer of 1986 at a Meade parking lot sale in Costa Mesa.
Dan	2080 LX3	1986	810825	I have an 8" LX3 that I still use today. I've deforked it and have it on a CG-5 mount. I bought it in Nov. 1986. Purchase price was $1700, and I got $650 for my Cave 8" trade in (I had that scope for years, and I traded it in for $50 less that I paid for it). The Cave had great optics and rotating tube rings, but it was a pain to transport.
Charlie B.	2080 LX3	1986?	811059	I got this 2080 LX3/MCSOG in November 2020. I had to recoat the secondary (of course), and the corrector has some patches of light fogging. Otherwise, it's in essentially new condition. No idea about its original sale date, but the S/N puts it probably around the end of 1986.
Bill S.	2080 LX3	1987	811157	I purchased new in May 1987. On the back of the secondary mirror was stamped Feb.1987.
Dave	2080 LX3	1987	811244	a 1987 Meade 8" 2080 LX-3 #811244 purchased from Adorama
Unknown	2080 OTA	1987?	811400	Found on astro buy/sell website. Might have been from LX3 or LX5? If you bought it, let us know!
PrimoDude	2080 LX5	1988	811860	I am second owner. First owner bought it late in 1988.
Geoff	2080 LX5	1988	812202	Just acquired Meade 8 in serial number 812202. I contacted Meade to try to get info on manufacture date but haven't heard yet. I'm guessing it's an LX3, but hoping it's LX5. Perhaps you know? [EDIT: turned out to be an LX5!]
Etienne L.	2080 LX5	1988	813248	Someone just gave me his old telescope. It's an LX5 serial 813248. It's a bit dusty but seems to be in great shape, it came to me with some occulars, Barlow, finder scope.
Saara B.	2080 LX5	1988	813303	I have a new addition for your Meade LX Registry - it's a Meade 2080 LX5, serial number 813303. Judging from the other serial numbers on the list, it was made in 1988. It's owned by the Undergraduate Astronomy Society (UAS) of the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada. I don't know where we got it from, but I'm guessing a prior club president bought it used around 2016-2018.
Perry P.	2080 MTS	1988	813493	Purchased at garage sale. Came with the MTS pier-style mount, LX Drive, and Multi coated optics. (UPDATE: Perry bought the scope from Steve L.!)
Dan D.	2080 LX5	1988	813589	I purchased in 2017 this well maintained, solid Meade 8" LX5 /2080. Included was the stock dew-shield, hand controller, tripod with wedge, a 2" diagonal, adequate assortment of Meade 1.25" eyepieces, manual, scope and eyepiece case. Once this scope is polar aligned, it becomes a dependable workhorse. I am the 3rd owner.
Marty T.	2080 LX5	1988	813604	I bought my 2080 LX5 in 1988. The serial number is 813604.
Mark H.	2080 LX?	1988	814007	Hi! I recently got a vintage Meade model #2080-8" scope ss#814007. I would like to know if I can get an LX3 (LX quartz drive), as well as a tripod as I don't have any. Thank you much! [EDIT: I directed Mark to the Canadian Astro Buy and Sell as well as Cloudy Nights!]
Bob F.	2080 LX5	1988	814083	n/a
Eric	2080 LX5?	1988	814277	Purchased at a yard sale for an amazing price.
Lisa L.	2080 LX5	1988	814323	While I took possession of it in 1989, I purchased it in 1988 and put it on lay-away. I was a poor astrophysics major and $1900 was an extremely large amount of money back then.
Mark B.	2080 LX5	1988	814750	Purchased in the 80's from OPT! In great shape!
Mark S.	2080 LX5	1988	815194	Third hand, at least. Good condition. Prior owner traded for a television years ago.
John R.	2080 LX6	1988	815509	I bought this several years ago from eBay. The scope and all of its accessories are very clean and were still in their original boxes. I've attached an Orion Telescopes advertisement from 1989. The option 3 list can be used as a checklist for the accessories. It also came with the optional digital setting circles, electric focusing system and declination motor. The only thing missing was the observing chair. So, I assume that it was originally purchased in 1989. Its serial number is 815509. It still powers up perfectly and works in every respect. I've attached a couple of photos that I took shortly after purchasing it, using an unmodified Nikon D600. You can see that the field is not completely flat and the stars are distorted towards the edges. I suppose that this can be corrected with a field flattener or using a smaller sensor, but I have not tried that. Although they won't win any contests, I find the results rather pleasing for a 33 year old telescope. However, the tracking is good as this photo was the result of stacking unguided 30 second subframes.
Henry L.	2080 LX3	1988	815611	We've had one Meade 2080 for about 15 years, it being owned by our Royal Astronomical Society of Canada but used at the Cronyn Observatory.
Unknown	2080 LX6	1989	815794	For sale on CN. f/6.3. If you own this scope, contact me at rick@deepskies.com if you'd like!
Rod H.	2080 LX	1989	816014	I thought I would contribute my own serial number for your list. I have a 2080, although none of the documentation that came with it specifies it as a 2080 LX. It was purchased in 1989...I think. It would not have been any earlier than '89, but could have been as late as 1990. It has a 110VAC RA drive, but no dec motor. There is a fine adjustment knob on the Dec axis with limited travel on the fork. It's on a Bausch and Lomb tripod. Optically, it's still quite nice, all the coatings seem to be in good shape.
Steve A.	2080 LX6	1989	816130	All original packaging, original manuals / charts / books, eyepieces, filters, imaging adapters, barlow lens, and many others I won't mention.
Manuel C.	2080 LX6	1989	816267	I recently bought a Meade 2080 LX6 Serial #816267, and am sending pics of my setup. Do you know anybody that works on the CAT module? I know it is super old tech but I hope there is someone out there that can help. [EDIT: I sent Manuel a link to the CAT manual, and directed him to the LX5 LX6 Groups.IO email group.]
Unknown	2080 LX?	1989	816399	Found on Meade Forums. If you own this scope, contact me at rick@deepskies.com if you'd like!
Bill S.	2080 LX6	1989	816697	I purchased a LX-6 drive base second hand off ebay. I have no idea when it was made.
Lowell B.	2080 LX6	1989	816900	I just recently inherited this barely used Meade 2080 LX6, serial 816900.
Henry L.	2080 LX	1989	816930	This telescope was donated to Cronyn Observatory by the estate of Biology Professor Jane Bowles of Western University.
Sharon L.	2080 LX	1989	817063	My dad bought this for my mom back in the day. He took delivery from the original Meade factory located in Costa Mesa, only a few miles from where we lived. It's being used today for deep sky imaging. The original price, including equatorial wedge, upgraded finder scope, and heavy-duty tripod was $1200.
Darren T.	2080 LX6	1989	817411	My fiance bought it for me as a wedding present and has been well used in its life. The scope has been a workhorse in all types of climate conditions and temperatures here in Canada.
Will	2080 LX5	1989	817544	Stock.
Doug P.	2080 LX5	1989	817566	I bought it from the original owner and have had it for about 7 years. I have replaced the control panel and the motors for focus and dec. It runs like a dream and holds it's own at any star party.
John W.	2080 LX	1989	817743	I purchased this Meade 2080 from a guy a couple of months ago. It has all the original equipment and is in great condition, including the RA corrector (inverter) and all the leads. The manual is included along with eyepieces along with an original cleaning kit. The scope gives great views despite some slight corrector coating issues. The mirrors are in excellent condition. I'll be using it to view the planets soon, plus try to take some planetary images. The serial number of the scope is 817743 and according to the photocopy of a note in the kit, the scope is from 4th November 1989. The original purchase price was £1,080. The original owner lived in Kent, England.
Brad B.	2080 LX5	1989	817776	I just acquired a Meade 2080 LX5 from a guy who had it for 7 years. Previously it was owned by a Doctor who only used it occasionally. The serial# is 817776 and I guess the date is 1989 based on the manuals (original included). Its seems to be all working!
Chuck L.	2080 LX5	1989	817790	I have a complete working LX5 with the 2080 optics. Purchased in 1991 from the original owner who had the scope 2-3 years. The main manual...and supplemental documents are dated 1989 and 1988 respectively. Serial number is 817790.
Tom G.	2080 LX5	1989	817835	Bought this from Broashurst, Clarkson & Fuller in London, UK in 1989, in memory of my dear Grandma. I am still using it 30 years on!
William R.	2080 LX6 Premier	1990	817983	Meade 2080 Premier Model 70 f/10 with LX6 drive, serial 817983, manufactured ~1990, original purchase Nov 1990 by previous owner. With 9x60 polar viewfinder and CAT.
Josh S.	2080 LX	1990	818147	My name is Josh Stapleton and the telescope in the pictures is one I inherited from my father when he passed. My kids and I are interested to get it up and running but I'm not sure where to begin. It looks like I'm missing a control panel as well. If this model is familiar to you I'd appreciate any insights. Thanks for the help! [EDIT: Turns out to be a 1990 2080 LX - Rick]
Larry B.	2080 LX5?	1990	818405	ser# 818405 possibly LX5 not sure. Possibly a 1990 ? t was given to me with no manual. I will follow your guidelines to try and locate a manual. There is so much I don't know about telescopes, always wanted one so I'm jazzed to get to know it. I appreciate your efforts to help people. More in the future.
Tim B.	2080 LX5	1990?	818879	I have an eight inch Meade 2080 LX5 f/6.3 wide-field , not sure of the year made. Serial #818879.
Robi	2080 LX5	1990?	818880	I have a Meade 8" f/6.3 serial number 818880. I bought it at a thift store 2 years ago. I notice you have a listing for 818879 that appears to be just like mine. Mine has the CAT encoder system but I dont have the hand controller or power supply. The base looks like an LX5 with just the one DIN connector.
Rick T.	2080 LX6 Premier	1990?	818924	My primary scope. Includes hand controller, RA and Dec motors. Works perfectly!
Mike G.	2080 LX6 Premier	1990?	819008	Purchased but unknown to what it is. Serial #819008 8" inch SCT. Believe it is a LX5 not an LX6 because it's an f10 [NOTE: based on serial number and other details about the controller, I believe this is an LX6 Premier just like mine! -Rick]
Gary T.	2080 LX5 f/6.3	1991	819264	I have a LX5 fork base with a 2080 f/6.3. optical system with a 6X30 finder scope and the 1.25 diagonal and eyepieces. S/N 819264. 30 years and counting. [EDIT: The scope legitimately appears to be an f/6.3 LX5 - likely a newer f/6.3 OTA mated to an older LX5. But it did come this way brand new from the dealer - interesting!]
Alan O.	2080 LX5	1991	819383	I have a Meade 2080 LX5, Serial # 819383 which I purchased from Focus Camera in February of 1992. I assume it was manufactured in 1991, but may have been in Focus Cameras stock for a longer period of time. Feel free to add me to the registry. The picture is of the Lunar Eclipse - Nov 8, 2003 - My twin boys, 3 years old at the time.
Jean-Luc L.	2080 LX6 Premier	1991	819439	Here are the pics of my new Meade SC 2080 lx6 Scope was bought in Belgium in 1989, and upgraded to lx6 in April 1991.
Peter D.	2080 LX6 Premier	1991	819826	Bought new in 1991 and have had the scope ever since, although it wasn't used much in the 2000s. The quartz drive microprocessor electronics in the mount have failed (continuous beep on startup and nothing else), so I'm searching for a replacement controller board. If necessary, I will defork for another mount as the F6.3 optics perform well and are still in great shape.
Tom G.	2080 LX6 Permier	1991	820249	I was given this drive base and forks which has 'Smart Drive' technology and PPEC. Looking forward to tidying this up and seeing what difference this makes to my guiding accuracy.
Jason L.	2080 LX?	1991	820727	I recently purchased a Meade 2080 on Craigslist.
Francesco M.	2080 LX6 Premier	1991	820791	My telescope is a Model 2080/LX6, 8", it is in perfect condition. I bought it in 1990, however, I do not know its year of manufacture. [EDIT: It appears to be an LX6 Premier from 1991!]
Dennis A.	2080 LX6 Premier	1991	820903	Still works perfectly. Only upkeep is to clean all digital circle plug contacts every couple of years with Radio Shack Gold contact cleaner.
Rick T.	2080 LX	1991?	821221	Bought 2nd hand through Kijiji. Manual dated 1994 but serial seems to be more around 1991.
Walter W.	2080 LX	1991?	821294	There are no markings on the scope other than the serial number of "821294" on a Meade tag. The unit has a right ascension drive that runs off 120 Volts AC.
Jean R.	2080 LX	1991?	822517	Bought second/third(?) hand three years ago, apparently very little used. No comments about it, it was in perfect condition. Re-equipped with new accessories, a real pleasure to use it! See the picture, such as ready for observation.
fungus57	2080 LX	1992	822572	This is a really nice Meade 2080 8" Schmidt Cassegrain, recently brought out of storage and barely ever used. The QA sticker says December 1992 and it has the Multicoated optics which look to be in great condition.
Steven K.	2080 LX	1992	823073	I have just purchased one in near mint condition- coatings are intact, perfect, no degradation.
LeRay	2080 LX	1992	823356	I purchased this Meade 2080 at an auction. It is in great shape and came with a bunch of eyepieces and a lighted finder scope with crosshairs and even a solar filter for the OTA. Also included was the Kendrrick dew remover system for all optics, main, finder eyepieces, etc. It also came with a VE MINITRAK. The owner kept detailed observation notes and there are several deep sky hardbound 2000 books and others.
Brian B.	2080 LX	1992	823389	I purchased a 2080 LX yesterday with serial number 823389. I purchased it from a private school. I do not know the year it was manufactured. Looking at the registry, it appears it would fall into 1992? It's in decent shape. Optics are very clean, surprisingly so. It does not look like they have been "cleaned." Secondary mirror is in excellent condition. It does need to be collimated. The tripod chrome is in excellent condition.
Ed S.	2080 LX	1993	824073	Purchased new in December 1993. The scope is a basic AC driven 2080, probably the LX2 model, however there is no "LX" marking on the telescope and I no longer have the box or invoice to be sure. It came with an 8x50 finder, MA25 eyepiece and equatorial wedge. I purchased a Meade UWA and two SWA eyepieces at the same time, and added a telrad finder later. The telescope was used often for about 15 years until a new, larger scope was acquired. It is still used occasionally as a "grab and go" telescope. It is light enough that it can be carried into the yard on it's tripod. Assuming the equatorial wedge is properly set, all that is necessary is to point the forks north, plug it in and turn it on.
Tom G.	2080 LX	1994?	824565	Just purchased an LX2080, likely from the early 1980's. It's been 40 years since I looked at the heavens and I'm excited to get into some dark skies here around Omaha NE. Meade Serial No. 824565. I'm at least the third owner. Everything seems to be in decent shape so I'm real happy for this find!
Andre V.	2080 LX	1995?	825489	I have this Meade telescope which I got from a relative, who passed away a couple of months ago. I am supposed to sell it on behalf of the relatives wife. I really don't know anything about astronomy or those kind of devices at all. [EDIT: I gave Andre some information about this scope! Hopefully it helps!]
Dr. Adrian J.	2080 LX10	?	830337	I don't know how many people owned the telescope before me...at least 2. Good luck with your endeavour!
AL S.	2080 LX10	?	833579	I just wanted to add my LX10 to your list. Mine was in bad condition when I found it. I immediately deforked it due to severe rust and water damage. I believe it survived the Brisbane floods in 2010. I was told that it was completely submerged in a garage in dirty river water for 6 days. Amazingly the OTA, corrector and mirror were fine. I repainted it and added a new finder and a Telrad. I really enjoy it's views. I am grateful for it introducing me to my hobby or the repair and restoration of telescopes and mounts.
Elton W.	2080 LX10	?	836388	I am the current custodian of an LX10 Meade SCT Serial # 836388. It's on a HEQ5 Pro Mount alt/az tripod mount.
Ersen K.	2080 LX10	?	838990	Hello this is my oldy but goldy lx10, but i dont know the date of manufacture
rugby	2080 LX10	2000?	843310	Recently bought a Meade LX 10 sct. It's in very good shape and the optics seem pretty sharp.
AJ	2080 LX10	2003?	849367	I bought my LX10 from Astronomics in late 2003 and its serial number is 849367. I don't know if it was manufactured that year, or earlier. It possibly could have been in stock for a while before being sold.

The Meade 2120 LX Registry (Oldest to Newest)

Owner	Model	Year	Serial	Description
Don S.	2120 LX	1983?	100693	I just found a LX 2120 at a resale shop in Door County WI. This appears to be an very early LX. The mirrors appear OK. I bought it from the original owner who had owned it since new, having bought it from the Johannesburg Planetarium.
Frank Y.	2120 LX	1983?	100800	Recently bought from an old gentleman in Sydney. The nearly 40 years old optic and coating is in very good condition, there's a sticker on tube "High Transmission Coating", the 1.25 diagonal is made in Japan.
George L.	2120 LX	1983?	100821	My name is George Lallemand and I bought a used one from an older gentleman. It's an LX 2120 in immaculate condition. The number is 100821. I guess it is a late 83 model. The tripod is as good as new. Minor peeling of the black tripod leg joints bit the rest is good. It included a wedge. Boy they are all iron heavy!
Peter L.	2120 LX	1983?	100870	I bought it from the original owner, who lives in the city of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, who had owned it since new, having bought it from the Johannesburg Planetarium.
Sleestax (CN)	2120 LX	1984	100915	It's a Meade System 2000 #2120 that was shipped from Orion (the company) in early Dec 1984, serial #100915. The base has a small aluminum plaque that says "LX Drive System." I have the original invoice, which apparently held up better than the secondary! Has the regular wedge with deluxe latitude adjuster, the field tripod, original 2" diagonal, beer-can-sized (!) 2-inch "research grade" 32mm Erfle, setting-circle illumination, dew shield, high-transmission coatings, counterweights, accessory case, and assorted original eyepieces.
Preston M.	2120 LX3	1984	101529	I am the second owner of this scope, the original owner told be he bought the scope in 1984. The secondary has been recoated and the primary mirror is as good as new, the scope's internal primary mirror focuser has been rebuilt to stop mirror flop. The scope'e internal LX quarts drive still works great and there have been many long hours put on the drive system. It was originally used as a portable scope for an observatory outside of Atlanta, GA. It has now found new life at Mt. Rest Observatory in SC and in my back yard. For a 35 year old scope that has seen every type of abuse two active astronomers can deal out this scope continues to perform at the highest level.
Andy M.	2120 LX	1984	101720	I have owned from new a 2120LX serial number 101720. Bought in the UK in 1984 and shipped to Canada 5 years ago where I now live. It came on a German EQ with single drive motor and is in excellent condition.
Terrence B.	2120 LX3	1985	101871	LX3 2120 s/n 101871 with silver coated optics; purchased second hand in 1988.
Mario S.	2120 LX5	1985	101957	My Meade telescope is a LX5 2120, 10 inches, f/10, FL:2500mm, Serial number #101957, made in 1985
Aaron G.	2120 LX5	1985	102099
Jan	2120 LX3	1985	102106	Rick, what a great idea to create a registry! Please include my Meade LX3 2120 serial number 102106. Manufactured in 1985. I am the original owner if this scope. For people who aren't sure of their manufactured dates if they have the original manual they can to look at the bottom corner of the back cover. Mine has the date 5/85 and matches the the 1985 date on some of the packing material. Mine was purchased in December 1985. So it might be the way to tell the year. I've attached 2 pics so you can see these dates. Hope this is helpful. [EDIT: Thank you Jan!]
Neville Y.	2120 LX5	1987?	102204	I bought this 2080 [ NOTE: I believe this is a 2120 based on the serial number. ] LX5 in 2017. The optics are good but before long the gearbox lost a few teeth. A major rebuild of the drive train was require, but I now have a good instrument. I used it in Sep 2018 to observe/record an exoplanet transit!
Brian G.	2120 LX3	1987	102220	I bought my 10" 2120LX3 on 12-18-1987 from Ad-Lib Astronomics, serial number is 102220. I still have the original receipt. Unfortunately, the motor drive quit working and I deforked the OTA. I'm currently waiting to get it remounted.
Donnie S.	2120 LX3	1987	102240	I recently purchased this from our local University.
Alan B.	2120 LX5	1987	102384	Just picked up a Meade 2120 LX-5 SCT OTA with Quartz Pulse Drive, serial # 102384, but do not know the manufacture date. Needs a replacement dec motor.
Walt H.	2120 LX5	1987	102907	I wanted a larger scope for photography and picked up a used 10" Meade. It says Meade Quartz and LX Pulse drive on it. The AC/DC converter that came with it says for 2080/LX5 AND 2120/LX5.
Donald	2120 LX5	1987	102913	Meade Telescope Model No. 2120 Serial No. 102913 I inherited the above telescope. I would like any available information regarding this model.
Woody	2120 LX5	1987	102927	This LX-5 2120 10" telescope looks to be in solid shape.
John S.	2120 LX	1987	102993	I have an old Meade 10" 2120 LX5, serial number 102993, apparently 1987 vintage. I am second owner, found in an old paper astro ad in New Jersey approx. 1990. Still works flawlessly and looks good. Add it to the list if you'd like.
Wayne S.	2120 LX5	1987	103032	I just imported my Meade LX5 2120 from Austin, Tx. It is a recent acquisition, but seems to be well documented and cared for. It is a 10 inch f/10 F=2500 mm (100") D=254 mm(10") Purchased new from Meade in Costa Mesa CA in 1988 for $1800USD.
Chris B.	2120 LX5	1987	103237	I bought it used in 1996 from Oceanside Photo and Telescope in California. Has Dec motor installed. Corrector plate has some coating damage, but other than that, still works like a champ.
Steve M.	2120 LX3	1987	103325	Meade 2120 LX3 10 inch MCOG with Equatorial Mount and Field tripod. Bought with Declination motor and Piggy-back mount.
Chris R.	2120 LX5	1987?	103365
Stephen S.	2120 LX5	1988	103394	My 2120 LX5 was bought in 1988. the S/N is 103394. I just inherited it and am trying to get it working.
Gary L.	2120 LX5	1988	103450	Bought it, along with another scope from a daughter of the late owner.
Kelvin T.	2120 LX5	1988	103824	I am a proud owner of a well maintained Meade LX5 2120 classic scope. It is being kept in excellent condition.
Wendy G.	2120 LX5	1988	103848	I bought my what is now I believe to be a LX5 2120 serial #103848 in and around 1989, from Oceanside Photo and Telescope, it had been previously owned.
Paul	2120 LX	1988?	104106
Albert	2120 LX5?	1988?	104223	Can anyone tell me which model Meade 2120 by serial #104233? I know Meade made many model 2120's. I hope someone know's. Thanks.
Mike K.	2120 LX6	1988	104921	For the last month I have been trying to determine the model of an old 10" Meade telescope I purchased, online from a previous owner, many years ago. After hours of meandering thru the internet forest I finally determined it was a Meade LX6. During my search I came upon a reference to your web site. I was interested to note that the serial no. of my LX6 (104921) was a little lower than any other LX6 listed in your data base. If possible, I would like to add this serial no. to your list. [EDIT: Absolutely!]
John R.	2120 LX6	1988	104924	I have a 2120 LX6 that I purchased new on 27 October 1988, when they first came out. It is S/N 104924.
Josh P.	2120 LX5	1988?	104953	I've just purchased my first telescope it's a Meade 2120 LX5 I believe. Going off the books and paperwork, with a serial number of 104953.
Charlie S.	2120 LX6	1988?	105066	I have just acquired a LX6 10" f/6.3.
David	2120 LX6 f/6.3	1988?	105381	I have a Meade 10" F/6.3 OTA. I removed it from the dead mount and put it on a CGEM. I have no clue what model it is but here is the serial number. [EDIT: It looks like an LX6]
Ken C.	2120 LX6	1988?	105434	Hi Rick, here are my Meade SCT scopes to add to your Meade registry. Thank you in advance, Ken
Carlo G.	2120 LX5	1988?	105464	Hi, I have bought an LX5 2120, serial 105464 can you help me to know the year? [REPLY: Based on the serial number it was likely made in 1988.]
Rudy M.	2080 LX6	1988?	105496	Hi, my serial no. is 105496. Got it from a friend who got it from his son who got it from his friend. Don't know the year it was made but would like to find out. Missing a few pieces like the eye pieces and a few other things that I don't know about. [EDIT: Rudy found the eyepieces and other accessories!] It came with 1 box for the tube. The rest of it is in a large plastic tote.The wedge is attached to the tripod. Needs a little polishing on the legs and a little wiping down on the base.
Jeff	2120 LX5	1988?	105584	I have a Meade 10" that I bought 40 years ago or close to it but my serial number is 105584. Both mirrors are in excellent shape.
David B.	2120 LX6	1989	105915	I've acquired an old Meade LX10 2120 with lots of accessories and all the original paperwork, brochures, manuals, receipts etc. I'm in the UK, acquired from my son (now living in the US), who got it from a friend who's Father bought it whilst living in Cyprus in March 1989. Serial number 105915. Probably needs some heavy maintenance but if you've got any UK contacts who might want to buy, please let me know.
Jim R.	2120 LX5	1988?	106384	I have an LX5 2120. Don't know the year. Serial Number 106384. F/10, D=254mm, F=2500mm.
Rick C.	2120 LX6	1989?	106709	I have an 10 inch F/6.3 2120 LX6 that I purchased when they first came out. It is NOT the Premier model and doesn't have the digital read out in the handset. My manual is copyrighted 1989, and that was about when I bought it.
Ken H.	2120 LX6	1989?	106859	Hello, I came across your LX registry in a couple places tonight while trying to figure out which version I have. The serial number on the mount is 106859, I'm trying to find out which version I've got. I just pulled the tube and fork out of storage to check, the accessories are in a different storage room that I will have to get into later, and if I remember right, I've got one of the NGC control units (or one version of it, I think I remember them being marketed by a few different companies at the time) in with the accessories. Is there a way to tell if this is LX5, 6, or whatever, by looking at the mount? I'll attach a couple quick pics. Thank you for your time and assistance, Ken [EDIT: Based on the photos and serial, I'd say LX6!]
Rick C.	2120 LX6	1990	107115	Replacement for LX6 mount mentioned above (106709).
Craig W.	2120 LX6	1990?	107600	I have an LX6 2120. Don't know the year. The Manual that came with it is copy righted 1990. Serial Number 107600. F/10, D=254mm, F=2500mm. It came with a 8X50 Polar View Finder.
Enrico T.	2120 LX6 Premier	1991	107740
Steve H.	2120 LX6 Premier	1991	107892	Purchased a 2120 F/10 LX6 Meade Premier on 6/11/1991 serial # 107892
Roy K.	2120 LX6 Premier	1991	108094	Original OTA is from an LX5 but is now on an LX6 Premier mount.
Chris S.	2120 LX6 Premier	1991	108779	I recently acquired this scope from a gentleman who lived south of Orange Park, FL. He said he only owned it for a few months. He said he purchased it at an estate sale on Sarasota, FL.

The Meade LX50 / LX100 / LX200 Registry (Oldest to Newest)

Owner	Model	Year	Serial	Description
Harry B.	8" LX200 Classic	1992	822535	Serial number 822535, and 06/92 on the keypad PCB. I only have a photocopied user manual. I bought the telescope 3rd hand at the end of 2012 in London UK, when it would have been around 20 years old.
Michael M.	8" LX200 Classic	1993	823221	Very good optics on the ronchi star test, second owner, included #1206 Electronic Focuser. 06/93 indicated on hand controller PCB, 1993 on printed Operating Manual.
Vince T.	8" LX200	199?	834942	Please add my Meade 8" LX200, serial #834059, ca. 199x, to the registry. Purchased October 2020. I'm the third owner. Thank you.
Ken C.	8" LX50	19??	834942	Hi Rick, here are my Meade SCT scopes to add to your Meade registry. Thank you in advance, Ken
Erico T.	8" LX200	199?	835049
Rick P.	10" LX200	1993	111167	Purchased my 10" F10 LX200 EMC in 1993 through a Sky and Telescope advertisement, although I can't remember which company. The scope has been permanently mounted on my rural mountaintop since 1995 protected only by a small unheated fiberglass dome. Completely at the mercy of the cold winters, summer heat and humidity. Routine simple maintenance every couple years for grease and electrical contacts. Optics are still pristine. Works like a champ and has never failed. Used it just last week for nebula imaging. Have cleared the trees all around the dome since the picture was taken years ago. Since the scope is 1/2 mile from the nearest wall power it has always run off a solar maintained, 12V marine battery.
Yves L.	10" LX200 EMC	1993	111418	I Got my first serious rig as a LX200 EMC 10 inch f/6.3 with serial #111418. Built in march 1993. Excellent condition, all original OTA and alt-az mount. Solid transport case.
Joel H.	10" LX200	199?	111455	Reciently purchased and I need a power cord. I am also interested in any upgrades to enhance viewing.
Fred	10" LX200	1992	112051	I have an LX200 with a serial number of 112051 and a controller PCB date of 6/92.
Mark S.	10" LX200	1994	113529	Rick, stumbled across your posting about serial numbers and manufacture dates for Meade telescopes. I have a Meade LX200 10-in that I purchased in December of 1994. Serial number 113529. Hope this helps.
John L.	12" LX200 EMC	1996?	113997	I purchased used (around 2003) from now-defunct camera store Shutan located in the northern suburbs of Chicago (Vernon Hills). The clerk in the store hinted that the previous owner was an heir to the Walgreens fortune. (Walgreens is headquartered in nearby Deerfield Illinois.) The original blue manual has the 1996 copyright on it. This serial number suggests it is older than 1996 but it may be a "Rosetta Stone" telescope in dating other scopes. The previous owner put a Planetary Society sticker on one of the tripod legs.
CrispyinAlbany	12" LX200	199?	114028	I have just bought an old Meade LX200 12 inch in very good condition, which originally came from an observatory just north of Perth W.A. From looking at the trail of the contributions, I reckon that mine is probably late 1990's. I attach a picture of it and the two numbers that I have for it are - 114028 & 113022. Reciently purchased and I need a power cord. I am also interested in any upgrades to enhance viewing.
Lewis X.	10" LX200 EMC	1995	114799	My scope, a 10" LX200 EMC (serial #114799) was originally purchased from Astro Mekanik, a store in Denmark. The original owner sold it, around 2005, to a businessman who lives north of Montreal, Canada, and I bought it from him on Aug. 5, 2021. It came with an instruction manual, copyright 1995 (Ver. 0195-1), and a keypad, marked Revision 3.20. The scope runs on 18v and the software is Ver. 3.34. Based on all the evidence, I'd say the year of manufacture was 1995. It's a pristine gem that's barely been used... a situation I plan to remedy.
Gerry C.	10" LX50	1996	116816	Accessories: Standard wedge, standard field tripod, carry case.
Boris S.	10" LX50	1998?	118641	Over the holidays I got a 10" Meade LX-50, but I don't know the age. I've used it some already, and the optics look pretty good for an SCT (though it needed collimation, which I provided).
Christian B.	10" LX50	1998?	118660	Bought a used Meade LX50 last year.
Barry S.	10" LX200	1998?	118771	The 10" Meade LX200 EMC dates from approximately 1998/99 and it's serial number plate is located by the electronics on the fork base. Serial # is 118771. This tube assembly also has white decal lettering on the tube (but no serial # there).
Jesus Piñeiro V.	10" LX200 f/6.3	1998	119524	This scope was purchased in 1999 (OTA only) and was mounted on a homemade mount with 7.5" Byers AR Drive (originally with AC Synchonous motor) and JMI Mototrak V control unit. Since 2016, the control unit was upgraded to GOTO by adapting a Skywatcher EQ-6 motherboard with stepper motors and hand control (Skaywatcher Upgrade kit). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlF2FyN4BEU The scope is still in use and its optics remain in optimal conditions. [EDIT: Jesus let me know he found a date on his OTA - 1998!]
Gary E.	10" LX200	2000?	121759	I am the new owner of a Meade LX200, Serial number 121759. Not sure what the year of manufacture is as I have not gotten into look at the motors yet. Feel free to add me to the list!
Barry S.	12" OTA (LX200)	2000?	121849	The second scope is a 12" purchased as a tube assembly only. It looks like a scaled up version of the 10". It has no decal lettering on the tube, but it does have a serial # plate by the grab handle on the outside of the mirror cell. The number is: 121849. Having the serial number plate here makes me think that it was purchased as a tube assembly only. I believe it was purchased sometime between 1999 and 2001. The grab handle and focusing knob are identical to what is on the 10"
OldManTaco70	12" LX200 EMC	2001	122297	Printed circuit boards are dated 1996. User Manual is copyrighted 1996. No label on Dec motor, but the label on RA motor (some say it is the build date for the scope) is "04.19.01 HT". So, was it born on/about April 19, 2001?
Harry G.	12" LX200 EMC	200?	123725	LX200 EMC 12" electronic focuser. Serial 123725. Maybe 200?
Eric C.	10" LX200 EMC	200?	124978	I just purchased a 10" LX200 serial 124978 that appears to be in pristine shape. It even had the lock/transport screw still in place on the focuser to lock down the primary. The scope has the upgraded "Classic Telescope / Control System Upgrade" controller on the fork mount. I would LOVE to get any documentation on this upgrade. Note: I sent Eric some info regarding GMD & Associates who make the upgrade in question.
Tank	12" LX200 EMC	200?	127395
Terrence B.	10" f/10 LX200	2000?	128174	LX200 EMC 10inch f/10 s/n 128174; purchased new in the early 2000s...don't remember exactly when. I have the super wedge with the LX200; however, the photo shows alt-az mode...easier for me to setup for short duration testing.
Jan S.	16" LX200 EMC	199?	160724	I have a Meade 16" LX200 EMC with s/n 160724, any idea what year it was made? [EDIT: my best guess is late 1990's - Rick]
Pat R.	14" LX200 GPS	2004	099189	My 14" LX200GPS was made in 2004. The serial number is 099189.

Ellie S.	4" 2045 LX	1984	426083	I purchased my telescope in July 1984 new from a camera store that is long gone now. The serial number is 426083. Your registry indicates all serial numbers start with an 8 so I am confused. Meade told me it is 2080 LX series. They sent me that manual. If you can clarify I would greatly appreciate it. [EDIT: It's a Meade 2045! A 4" SCT and the 2080's little brother. I sent Ellie a link to the 2045 manual.]
Dave	4" 2045 LX	1985?	427692	I saw your awesome website and was wondering if you could tell me which model scope I have ? Thanks for your time! [EDIT: It looks like a Meade 2045!]
Ursula	8" LX90	?	001692	I recently purchased a Meade LX 90 with serial number 001692
Brian B.	8" LX90	2000?	010450	I have an LX90 I purchased this summer Serial number 010450 Manufacture date is after 2000 as that is the date on the owners manual. Overall the scope is in nice shape.
Barry S.	6" LX80	?	81258	I have a relatively new 6", which was sold as a separate tube assembly but likely came from a total package. It's serial # sticker says LX80, and the serial # is 81258
