This LX200 Hand Controller is a functional replacement for the original "Classic" version 3.xx Meade hand controller, in virtually the same form factor. It performs all of the functions detailed in the original 1996 telescope manual.
The design is more power-efficient, using only about 40% of the current required by the original. With low operating current, a copper pad heat sink design helps keep thermal heating minimal, even using an 18-volt power supply. If you use a battery supply, you should see longer battery life. With new updated components and layout, this hand controller will safely handle 12V to 18V power.
