First, I'd replace the finder scope with a red-dot sight.
Second, I'd try to improve the mount. If I were crafty, I'd try something like this http://hometown.aol.com/davetrott/page15.htm . If I were spendy, I'd get a Universal Astronomics or Vixen alt-az mount.
Third EPs, you could either get a hybrid diagonal and use 1.25 inch eyepieces or you could go to the SurplusShed and try some of their .965 eyepieces.

I have several telescopes, but none are semi-APO, APO, or in anyway valuable.
