There is a company in Perth called Astronomy Academy who did hyper tuning of mounts. I sent an email 8 months ago to get a price to hypertune my EQ6-R pro mount and never got a reply after a second follow up
If you can use a screwdriver and spanner maybe buy a Rowan belt Mod kit from the UK and do it yourself. I’m sure a lot of folk on IIS have done the Rowan belt mod with good results and can guide you through it
Another good site regarding hyper tuning mounts is Astro Baby
Cheers
