Thanks Merlin, it is good to know. I suspected that the base model used different motors, and from what I have just read, the gearing was inferior on the base EQ6 as well, don't know if that is still the case.
I did just finish talking to Alex Zarvis about his modification to the 'base model' and although it has different motors, he apparently can modify the basic hand controller to add an autoguide port.
It costs $90 + shipping to do so, he reckons it works fine, but the motors in the base model aren't as good as in the Syntrek and Synscan models.
I'm awaiting some more clarification from him, but it looks like you could perhaps get autoguiding etc. happening on the old base EQ6 via this mod.
I'll post more details when I know more.
