Avandonk bought his Bartelised belt drive mount from me during a period of financial stress I had several years ago. I even wrote an article on it for Cloudynights
http://www.cloudynights.com/item.php?item_id=1538
I stupidly sold it, especially since the need for cash I had was over in a couple of weeks. I bought a new eq6 with synscan to replace it, and it has never worked properly on a consistent basis. Having now found a source of 47 tooth pulleys, I'm going to convert it to belt drive to get the same smooth tracking I had in the old eq6.
cheers
Gary
