hi peeps,
I need to replace my eq1 mount as my slow motion controls just twist without moving the scope, and won't hold position once locked in (don't know if its a counterweight problem or not but I've slid the weight up and down to no avail). I'm interested in Stefans eq2 mount listed in the classifieds.

my question is, will the eq2 mount fit my tripod (its a Meade) or do they make different mounts for different tripods? I only paid 80 bucks off gumtree for the 114/900mm reflector ... it is old by what I can gather, supplied with MA ep's.
I really want a dob, but I enjoy what I see through this reflector as well. should I count my losses and get a dob, or get a fairly cheap fix for the worn out mount, or save for a manual eq3 setup after I get the dob. tax time is soon so I'm very undecided!
I will post some pics later of my setup if anyone needs them.
thanks in advance for whomever reads,
matt
I found out the answer, and it is no. apparently the mount head is a different size.
