Mount tuning service near Sydney?

Hi,

I set aside some cash for a used EQ mount for some basic DSLR imaging and have come into an EQ5 with dual motors from a kind forum member.

I think the mount needs a bit of TLC (regrease etc) and it'd cost me a fair bit of time and expense in tools\supplies to do so.

I was wondering if there were any EQ mount servicing services around Sydney? Just want to compare the cost of DIYing it vs the cost of paying someone who knows better!

I've done a IIS forum search but couldn't see anything.

Thanks,

Richard

Richard,
I don’t know of any mount servicing contacts in Sydney ( most folk have a go themselves using the Astro baby guide and other on line guides , however I’ve heard good reports from a company in Perth called Astronomy Academy Ph: +61 404 254 233. info@astronomyacademy.com.au
Cheers
Martin
PS: Maybe give Bintel or Skywatcher Australia a call as well
