Trying to get a model number, but most important the worth. I'm selling a mount and tripod and want to price accordingly. Thanks

If the motors go up to 32x they are Vixen motors with a Celestron plate on them, and their worth is substantial: new, about $400 so you'd want to sell around half that.

If the motors have 8x as their maximum speed and/or say they are made in China than their new value was something like $125 six or seven years ago and they ain't worth much.

The mount itself is a Vixen Great Polaris and that's a good mount. Seriously. A very good light duty mount.
