It's an older model, and looking through some comments on Weasner's site, parts for them are apparently hard to come by. Someone suggested I ditch the Meade drive/Autostar altogether, get hold of an EQ3 and put it on that. Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks,

I put my old ETX70 on a DS mount. There are pictures on Mike Weasners site of others doing the same with a ETX 90
