What mount is this?

I am looking at buying and older C14 from a guy. I cant tell if the mount in a Losmandy G11 or an Older Celestron CGE. Any help would be great.

Looks like a Celestron CI700 to moi.

Ron's right. It's a CI-700 all right. I owned one for years. A good solid mount, but a C-14 might be a bit much. If it starts slipping the O-rings are dirty. Just remove the knurled knobs on the RA drive and clean off the grease. The bearings are where that belongs. I'd think you'll be OK for visual observation. You might need an extra counterweight.
