Counter weighting a SCT

[robin]

HI all, does anyone know any good websites, links or info on counterweighting
a fork mounted SCT.My LX200 is getting very top heavy with guidescope attached & I dont want to wreck the drive gears with an unbalanced OTA.
Ive got the small meade counter weights but I need to move into the realm of 2d or 3d counter weights.Ive seen the bintel ones.What do other guys reckon?

You could try Scopestuff in the U.S.

Any tube balancing only effectively "balances" across/ around the dec axis.
Adding c/weights and additional hardware to the tube also imposes the total load offset on the RA bearing and drive!!!

I've got the Bintel 2D cheapo model and it works nicely.
