The hard part is constructing the bearing supports, the circle sectors and sourcing the stepper motor and electronics.
Perhaps a kit option with all the bits (supply your own ground and top boards) could save enough to make it customs friendly ?

Mike for visual use, perfect leveling and polar alignment doesnt matter. When I use the eq mount for the ED80, I just plonk it down and make a rough guess and its good enough. It just means an occasional tweak on the declination is required.
