Josh:

The mount was originally manufactured in 2005, its Celestron branded as a 'Celestron CG-11 by Losmandy'.

It has the high torque motor upgrade, and was retrofitted from the 492 Digital Drive to the Gemini system at some point in its lifetime.

It does not have spring loaded worms, it's still got the original two piece worm blocks... I have looked at doing the one piece worm block (and the high precision worm for the RA axis) but Losmandy have not had them in stock for quite a while, though I am still on the waitlist.

Heres some pics of the mount, one of it set up for a night, and a screenshot of the last guiding stats I had a month or so ago...
