I hear you ? for a Tak 4 inch a generic $400 second hand EQ5 style mount will do very well for the time it will get used for the eclipse .
It will also do very well for them to view the southern skies .
Driven it will deliver short AP's , especially if they have an FSQ .
I do hear you . ( if you can afford a sweet 4 inch TAK a mount for the duration should not be a problem ) .
I have a TV Gibralter that may be avaliable if an Alt AZ is ok with them ?

Hardly worth the "return on investment" just in the time to haul it to site and set it up...
Or is he looking for someone along the Eclipse track?
