Hi Remus, Thanks. Thinking of building own pier. Got to decide concrete or steel. Alfred definitely need to double check on sellers credentials and ensure smooth transaction. 1.5k for shipping seems ok for the head. seen it in action before, lovely performance. usually owners will eventually upgrade...

Hi,

I am considering buying a Takahashi EM500 mount (2005) from AM. Just the mount, no pier or tripod. It cost about US$7500. Would cost me another S$1500 to ship it in with insurance, not mentioning GST.

Does anyone have words of wisdom?

Thanks in advance.

Alfred
