Unless you want a mount that only runs when it wants to, has tolerances you can drive a truck through, drips oil, everything rattles loose, and need to throw it in the back of a ute when it won't run.
Don't even ask about accuracy

Hmmm-maybe you are correct,I got this chap mixed up with another one our regular astronomers that has a 'Fat boy'.I knew another chap (non-astronomer who had the same model 'Fat boy',bought it new-sold it over a year later for the same price he bought it for.I have never heard anyone complain about Harley's-are you sure it was Harley's you meant??
I'd have thought the Yanks would be too proud to export low quality mechanical goods,although I've heard a few Losmondy mounts are a bit "how are you going",and needed some work out of the box.
