Wanted: EQ5/HEQ5 with GOTO

[Merlin66 (Ken)]

I'm considering an upgrade to my trusty old Televue Systems GEM. It's been good for me with the Genesis for the last fifteen years, but I think the time has come to consider an upgrade to improve the mounting; I'd also add the Comet Seeker to the mounting plate as well.
Looking for a clean, used EQ5 or similar preferably with GOTO capabilities. Saw the comments on the EQ6 so think I'd give that a miss.
Anything out there?????

Hi,

Look at this on http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Skywatcher-HE...QQcmdZViewItem

I wanted to buy it first but then decided to go for EQ6
