I'm also gathering serial numbers for the later scopes: LX10, LX200 Classic, LX100 and LX50. telescopes from Meade along with other telescopes featuring RS-232 serial interfaces. Meade LX200GPS 8 inch - Build year - posted in Meade Computerized Telescopes: I am trying to determine the build year of a LX200GPS scope that I purchased. You can also include a picture of your scope if you like. So, if you happen to have a Meade LX, LX2, LX3, LX5, LX6 or Premiere kicking around and you are interested in participating, shoot me a PM (or reply here) with your serial number and year of manufacture (if known). Both handsets boot and beep, both send an X after the beep to. I have one older 497 (24pin LCD cable, ETX Autostar, with a non functional LCD) and a newer 497 Autostar that I had modified with StarPatch and shows version 43G on startup.

The goal is that if we gather enough examples of serial numbers and years, in the future people will be able to purchase a nice mint used LX-series scope and figure out what year theirs is from by checking this registry.

To remedy that, I'm gathering all the Meade 2080/2120 serial numbers I can find, along with the year of manufacture (if known) and tabulating them onto a webpage: If the product needs service, you receive an RGA number that allows you to return the product to the Meade Service Center.

There appears to be next to no information on the Interwebs correlating the Meade serial numbers with the year of manufacture. Meades 8 inch LX200 ACF telescope is a great model for both advanced and beginning astronomers. I dont have any paperwork for the telescope and it does not have a model name or number on the scope. I did not know the actual year of manufacture for any of these scopes, as I bought them all second hand. I have owned a variety of Meade scopes in my life, including a 2120 LX6/Premiere, a 2080 LX3 and my current scope a 2080 LX6 Premiere.
