Hi Graham,
I have an old mount made by Thomas Gaunt circa 1876, as best I can find out.
Kunama..one of a few Matt’s bought it from Lars Hansen and stripped it back to Brass and black iron. Lars bought it form Cris Ellis who bought it from an old bloke in Ballarat who had had it for decades.
I bought it up to the 1950’s with a slip clutch and tangent arm, both controlled by a Losmandy/ Celestron 492 drive system and stepper motors.
I’m not really interested in selling it but your scope is made for it...
Here is a photo with my 90x1000mm achro on it. Only weighs 160kgs as pictured.
