The mount was used on my observatory since new, so the tripod has had no use - just stored in the shed till now. Not that that makes a lot of difference to the tripod.
The mount has some minor rust appearing on the counterweight shaft where it was hidden by the weights in the observatory - see close up attached.
Hand piece has had very little use. The mount was controlled using EQ-Direct and EQ-MOD. I have plugged it up and made sure all is working as it should.
There is an extra little cable plugged into the handpiece which is included for free. I think it was probably for an early remote control method before I settled on EQ-MOD. It is not required for normal handpiece operation.
$1250 (was $1500) pickup in Oberon only as I don't have packing for the mount and tripod. I am prepared to assist by driving up to 2 hours to meet halfway for handover if this helps.

Reason: Reduce price
I used it in the observatory with a C11 and ED80 side by side (plus an L200 spectroscope and SBIG ST8I camera) without any problems for spectroscopy, solar and lunar imaging.
