Hi Peter,
How soon do you want it? I have a Titan mount on order, and it was supposed to turn up last October and I am still waiting. When the Titan arrives, I will have my Goliath EQ mount for sale.
The Goliath is the big brother of the Sampson mount that was sold by Astro Optical supplies in the early 1980's. The Goliath has solid 2" diameter steel shaft on both axis. Also a Thomas Matthis 14" R.A. drive that is very accurate. I had a 16" newtonian and 8" SCT on this mount at the same time without any problems, (in an observatory).
It has a dual axis drive controller that the operator can adjust the speed of the R.A. synchronous motor and Dec motor with hand switch box.
This mount weighs heaps and needs 2 adults to carry it, so I would suggest pickup.
Let me know if you are interested.
