Could a Tak Teegul Lapides Handle a SV102ED?

Looking for opinions as to whether or not a Takahashi Teegul Lapides (on my Oberwerk wooden tripod)could handle an SV102ED.

The scope loaded weighs a bit less than 13#.

Any experiences with this mount and similar sized scopes would be appreciated

Thanks!

Hi Alan:

I think so. I used mine regularly with a Sky 90 and a lesser tripod than yours. Evan Chan has used his with an Astro-Physics 130mm refractor.
