It's tip positive according to the spec above. I've owned a couple of (N)EQ-6s over the years and that seems to agree with my memory. It's rare to find that style of plug that's not tip positive (though I did have one once, so it pays to check).

The Skywatcher EQ-6 was also sold as the Orion Atlas EQ-G (painted black in the latter case), so you can look up specs and dicussions for the EQ-G as well.

You may also wish to buy yourself a multimeter so you can check such things 'in the flesh'.
