Byers Sidereal Rate Drive System

This beautiful set of gear and worm produced by the legendary Ed Byers.
The set has had approximately 4 hours of work - I decommissioned the project it was meant for.
It is in superb condition with some minor loss of anodised surface in a few places .

Details are:
359 tooth
11 5/16" wheel
2" inner ring

Here is a link to a recently closed ebay sale for virtually the same system as sold by Byers himself.

On the ebay site, he says of this drive:

"It is top-of-the-line -- you cannot buy a better drive. Five years ago this system sold for $2,450. I have it listed for $1,750".

That's approx AU$1860 + exchange costs + Shipping (which, I am told Byers does NOT ship to Australia.).

I am asking $1400 for the set.
