TV on an LXD?

Hi everyone,
I'm have an opportunity to pick up a Televue 101 (not an NP) and I'm thinking of putting it to the top of my LXD75 mount, then mounting my WO 66ED on that for guiding. With the 2 scopes, 20d,and a ST4 I should be well under weight limits. I've done my own degrease and polished the gears. Tightened the worm gear.

Anyone have experence with anything similar? I'd love to hear any and all opinions!

Thanks,
Gary

This scope shouldn't be any kind of a challenge for this mount. Folks do mount 10-inch SNTs on 'em and they are at least workable--for visual use anyhoo.
