Drive & Worm Gears for Samson EQ Mount?

[Paul Camilleri (Paul)]

Hi,

I have a old Samon EQ mount made by Astro-Optical in the late 1980's
it has a plastic drive wheel and am wanting to update it to something better and more accurate, does any one know of any place in Sydney that would be able to make me a drive wheel & Worm to suit this EQ mount?

I have found two places one in the USA & one in England that offer drives
made to order, web sites below:

Thanks for any suggestions...
