Thanks Greg,
Do you know the custom $$$ for importing such an item? I assume 10%GST ... any other charge?
I can't afford an AP1100 or an 1200 ... a second-hand 900GTO is the only option. I think it's rated 40Kg? Love to see one inside... bearings, shaft and worm arrangement. Can't find anywhere a pic... probably owners never need to thinker with it
Still, I may proceed with the DIY EQ mount with the Byers worm gear... just not sure if the machining can match the AP quality, despite the good worm...
