cg5 equatorial mount

I've just bought an az-eq6, so I'm selling my old mount. It's a CG5-ASGT goto mount, but I've never had much luck with the goto with my c9.25 mounted - the dec drive seems unable to manage the weight in some positions. So I'm pricing it as a non-goto equatorial mount. It works fine for this purpose and tracks well. The goto may even work with a lighter scope, but no guarantee of this.

Included are the 3 counterweights, two hand controllers, one is the latest model that allows flash / firmware updates to the scope which cost over $200 extra, the other is prior to this and the original hand controller that came with the mount. Also a USB to Serial adaptor, for use with the Celestron Serial Cable for remotely controlling the telescope from a PC or upgrading firmware (I've done the latter but never tried the former). No power supply included. The lever on one of the tripod legs is missing, so you need to use a spanner to adjust the length of this leg (annoying I know - I'll include a suitable spanner).

$300 pickup from Canberra, or I can deliver to Wollongong (I come up about once a fortnight).
