How old is your mount?
Well, Palomar is still functioning and that was built in the 30'-40's.....
I have a Carton RSJ Equatorial mount, rebadged as a "TV Systems mount" which was distributed with the Genesis telescope in the late 80's.
This mount has had a few "upgrades" along the way - Losmandy GM8 motors fitted and the original TV Clamshell (which I hate!) replaced with an ADM dual Vixen/ Losmandy saddle.
Still in full working condition and a stable easy to use mount.
It has the same capacity as my HEQ5pro mount.
What other "older" mounting are out there and in use??
