Hi,
I have a EQ5 mount for sale. Although mine is painted dark, as far as I can tell, it's equivalent to the white ones currently being sold by Bintel:
http://www.bintel.com.au/Mounts---Tripods/EQ-Mounts/Skywatcher-EQ5-Mount--BR--Aluminium-Legs-/94/productview.aspx
The mount is in good condition with some cosmetic scatches here and there. The only component missing is the safety nut on the end of the counter-weight shaft. Also the polar scope cap has a small crack in it. (please note that no polar scope is supplied).
The mount is fitted with duel-axis drive motors which can slew the mount upto 8x. (worth $169 from bintel):
http://www.bintel.com.au/Mounts---Tripods/Drive-motors/Orion-EQ-5-Dual-Axis-Drive/130/productview.aspx
Asking $350. Local pickup from Adelaide would be preferred but I would be happy to ship at buyers expense. The mount comes with a home made box to fit it all in.
thanks,
Paul.
