I am the original own, it is six years old.  This is a workhorse mount, it works great.  Includes everything that came with the mount including two counterweights and hand control.  No issues with the mount.  New, these are $2250.  I replaced the original metal tripod with a Berlebach Uni 18 wooden tripod.  This works great when using longer refractor telescopes, the mount can be raised quite high and it is really steady.  These cost $690 from Germany, plus shipping.  The cons are in the photos.  The counterweights had some paint that came off, so I repainted them; they came out fine.  The tripod has one foot that a counterweight dropped on, so it looks kind of ugly but works fine.  The wood has wear and tear, but is still very solid.  This is a great mount for someone who has a longer refractor and can overlook some cosmetics.  

Obviously, the cat and telescope in photo are not for sale!

New, this would cost near $3k.  I am asking $1600 which includes the first $200 for shipping, but buyer would need to cover the rest (three boxes, I figure around $400 total).  Please cove PayPal fees.  I a pickup could be arranged, that would be great.

Please feel free to ask questions.  Thanks for looking.
