Good day fellow astrophiles!
I will be letting go this mount as it has been giving me some issues with load bearing a 110mm refractor (don't mind me) and thus i will be selling this away to make room for a more heavy-duty dual mount instead. The Twilight I can support up to 18pounds (8kg) of telescope OTA. This means it can support 4" refractors, 6" Newts and works exceptionally well with a short-tube Cassegrains up to 8", although tightening of the screws are somewhat necessary. Two bits of damage are there: one of the tripod legs have a small dent when the item is delivered brand new, and the azimuth slow-mo control have a bit of play. My Twilight 1 has been modded with Kokusai Kohki's handle and makes slewing the mount around easy.
with the SkyRover 110ED (NOT RECOMMENDED)
with the Onyx 80EDF (recommended!)
Asking Price: $450 with handle, $550 with kokusai kohki carrying bag
Please contact me @913-seven-two-941 for the images or any other queries!
Regards and clear skies!

For my mount I filled the arm empty area with epoxy and drilled out the bottom 2 of the 6 holes at the side to attach 2 more bolt and nut. M5 size fit well.
Worth a try. Low cost materials, big improvement.
