Celestron CG-5 mount on heavy-duty steel field tripod with Celestron dual-axis 3-speed drive controller and battery pack. Vixen style head, one counterweight.
Cosmetically 9/10, no play in axis movement, drive works fine.
The CG5 is sometimes called the 'EQ4' as it is a step up from both a CG-4 and an EQ3. Load capacity is around 15kg, so it will handle a C8 for visual, C6 for AP, refractor up to 120mm and reflector 150/F4-5. The tripod is rock solid.
For reference, a smaller Saxon EQ3 with dual-axis drive is RRP $900 today.
Asking $375, pick-up Mandurah WA, cash only, no haggling
