EQ5 mount with wooden Surveyors Tripod -- Needs some work
EQ5 plus old Surveyors wooden Tripod.
Hi have what I was told is a Skyview Pro EQ5 Mount, NON-GOTO. It may need stripping, and a repair, but does work.
Have slow motion knobs on Cables with it – new these cost me $30.
No counterweights will be with it, as I need these for another mount at the Moment – but you often get cheap Weight-lifters weights at Op-shops that would work.
It can have motors added, but don’t have any of these to fit it [My other one had Motors fitted].
Have a Old Surveyors Wooden Tripod to go with this mount. You would need to make an adaptor to fit it to the tripod – think this will be very easy if you access a lathe [may be at a Local Men’s Shed]. It was a planned project that I no longer need to do, as I purchased a HEQ5, and am saving for another more expensive mount.
Only $170--.
