There is mine made by Thomas Gaunt who knows when. Possibly late 1870’s.
Cris Ellis, who had it for a few years, thought it was made at the end of WW1...newspaper articles from 1876 show an engraving of the mount and short article about it and the maker.....take your pick. It’s old anyway.
Weighing in at around 150+kgs it’s heavy but is very smooth. I have added Losmandy 492 drive with G11 steppers, slipclutch, RA setting circle and a tangent arm on the Dec axis.
Takes my 6” f12 easily. Only thing left to do is put it on a trolly.
