I have a german equatorial made by Meade suitable for anything up to 16". It is a silver finished research grade that performs very well for visual observing. I've had a 10" newt on it for a few years, and even managed to get a couple of half-decent astrophotos with it.
The drives work, and it will accept both 12V and 240V input. There is a tangent arm dec drive, and both are controlled using a joystick.
Mount is massive, I used to haul it into the field, but it would be best suited for a semi-permanent installation.
$900 is a good place to start, and I'm open to offers.
I can supply pics on request, as well as contact details.
Mount is in Perth, West Australia
