The TEC catalogue identifies this balancing accessory for the APO250VT. It lists a scale and a 7 lb counterweight; Bintel also describes the matching TEC sliding system.
A sliding weight changes the position of the balancing mass along its support. The quoted weight refers to the counterweight, not the complete accessory or telescope.
The published listings do not specify rail dimensions, sliding travel or mounting-hole pattern. The full fixing kit is also not defined, so fitting details must be established for the intended assembly.

Installation illustration: the photograph shows an APO250VT telescope installation, not a detailed photograph of this counterweight system. The telescope, mount and other illustrated equipment are not included.
Baader's TEC catalogue identifies 1353144 for APO250VT and specifies a scale and 7 lb counterweight. Bintel independently lists a TEC sliding system with scale and 7 lb CTW. The approximate kg value is a unit conversion, not the whole assembly mass. Bintel's underlying 10000 g inventory weight is not used as an engineering specification. Rail length, sliding travel, attachment dimensions, scale units and complete fastening kit are not published in the checked sources. It is not the early prototype's internal counterweight discussed in 2014.
