For the interest of any restorers in here I thought I would give a blow by blow report of the restoration of the EQ mount that Bert (avandonk) kindly donated to me.

This way you can see how the EQ started out from rusty memories to a fine piece of Astronomical equipment. I will add more pics as it goes along.

One thing I have learnt is that it is not a good travel mount so it will eventually be permanently mounted and I will hopefully get one of Mick Pinners Dob Wedge Trolleys for travelling about.

These first 2 pics are of the EQ mount where it sat at Berts for many years. It looks disastrous but everything that should work did!
