Still looking for one of these,I had three different people offer to sell me one,only they all pulled out of sale at last minute.

So thought I'd try one final ad,before buying a new GP D2 or HEQ 5

PM,if you really want to sell me one.

cheers Chris

Chris,

I have bought an EQ6 to replace my SP DX. the SP DX is the earlier model to the GP DX. I cannot for the life of me see why you would want one over a HQ5.

My SPDX struggled under the load of my 130EDT + "guidescope" - 24lbs all up with eyepiece, and needed 18lbs Cwt. That is why I am upgrading. ( I don't do photography)

When I say struggle, the RA motor does not seem to want to drive the load anymore. If I put the Pronto on - no problems, but not the big one

I am willing to sell my SP DX if someone can give me a good enough reason to do so.

PM me if you are interested.
