Mesu 200 Friction drive mount

I've now sold most of my astrophotography setup and it's time for the Mesu to go too.

I bought this back in May 2020 from IIS; original ad here

This was without doubt the best mount I ever owned and if I ever choose to get back into astrophotography I'm going to really regret moving this on. With this mount I typically got a total RMS in the range of 0.3" - 0.4" in PHD2, though obviously under poor seeing that could be worse. And being a friction drive mount it naturally has zero backlash.

The mount does have a couple of minor cosmetic blemishes that occurred during freight to me but is in perfect working order (can supply pictures).

The mount does not come with a tripod (nor did it when I bought it). It does have a metal Berlebach adapter which I tapped a couple of extra holes in so as to attach it to my pier.

At the moment this is local pick up only, but should I receive no interest locally I'll open it up to freight at the buyer's expense.

Price for pick up is $7000.
