The mount looks a little like the ones Orions Optics in the UK do for their dobs.

lol too many scopes mate! Trying to trim the collection so I end up with the SDM for deepsky stuff, the 8 inch for solar system and quicker sessions which don't justify 15 return trips to and fro the backyard, the 120ST for widefield and 4.5" newt which I'll keep for quick look planetary, it's actually very nice in that regard IMO I remember getting lovely crisp views of the moon with it at 200x. The mount on that is broken and probably won't get more than 50 bucks for the OTA so it'll just share that ALt Az mount with the 120ST.

The mount I'm going to replace sometime, it's just too shaky at high power. Smooth motions though.
