Meade research grade mount

I have a german equatorial made by Meade suitable for anything up to 16". It is a silver finished research grade that performs very well for visual observing. I've had a 10" newt on it for a few years, and even managed to get a couple of half-decent astrophotos with it.
The drives work, and it will accept both 12V and 240V input. There is a tangent arm dec drive, and both are controlled using a joystick.
Mount is massive, I used to haul it into the field, but it would be best suited for a semi-permanent installation.
$900 is a good place to start, and I'm open to offers.
I can supply pics on request, as well as contact details.
Mount is in Perth, West Australia

Figured out how to upload an image.
For scale, the other Meade mount next to it is the standard 10" Starfinder mount.

Hi Andrew

I have not received any response from you. Is the mount still available?

Regards
Andy
