hi all,
I am considering the equatorial mount in the near future..
Since my budget is very tight, I decided to renovate, if something suitable pops up..
Let me know if it is somewhere in someone's shed, lying there forgotten for years under other junk.... I may be prepared to remove it for you :-)

Thanks Leon, I appreciate your help...
I forgot to mention in my first post, I do not intend to use it for 10" Newt, it is for smaller, 5" refractor (yet to be build, I have objective lens with mount only at this stage) to be used for wide-field photography. So 5kg carrying capacity would be adequate.

I am afraid this will blow my budget.....
Thanks for the offer, anyway :-)
