Karls48 had a HEQ5 tripod for sale in Sydney for $150 (I think he was going to setup a pier at home for astrophotography). Not sure whether he is still willing to sell. Here's the thread.
I bought a set through Ebay from a company based in Canada (worked out about $200 + shipping , or was that including shipping ??? cant remember now) to upgrade the old CG5. I must say .... they are nice and very solid.
They are dammed hard to find here.
