[FREEBIE CLAIMED] Old Japanese mount

[torana68 (Roger)]

Don't know who made it, good for parts? its probably later '60's, has a home made 240v drive, legs look ok, no spreader, there is also the box that housed it and a 4 1/2 reflector, home made, pick up only......

if not claimed by Sunday will be binned......

[Kunama]

Looks like a Tasco mount ..... the round clock drive may also be a Tasco option...

[torana68 (Roger)]

yes my first thoughts were of a Tasco supplied mount

[Wavytone]

Yup it's a Trashco... brings back memories of noobs conned into buying these. Belong firmly in the bin - "should never have been made."

These have been around since the 1960s; so could be considered vintage. Few buyers opted for the clock drive (only because of the expense) so that makes the mount more interesting.

I am brand new to this but would appreciate the opportunity to test this. Can you tell me where I could pick up. I live in Canberra.

Hi Roger,
Would the tube clam shell on that be 75 mm by any chance? I need a 75 mm clam for a project. If the claimant does not need it I would be happy to pay postage.
Thanks,
Gary

Gary, its for a 4 1/4 reflector... Andrew if you want it tomorrow I'm near Michelago otherwise I can meet up through the week souhside? Wavytone, its earlier than the copy mounts that fell apart that came later in the 70's.
