The old Equatorial Platform chestnut

Hey all,

I wish to purchase an Equatorial platform suitable for a 16inch Lightbridge, whilst I am well aware that this can be done at home, I do not have the tools nor a shed to complete this task and for us to sell the apartment so I can have a shed is currently out of the question.

I do not wish to use a track-n-train setup as I do not want apparent rotation of the object I will be observing.

I would like to go through someone with experience in building these platforms rather than go through a cabinet maker that I find randomly in the yellow pages.

I would like to find someone in Australia that can make them, as from what I understand is they can contain a fair amount of wood and I simply do not want the potential trouble with quarantine.

Any suggestions would be absolutely appreciated.

Cheers,

Trent
