liuming, that's a cool looking scope (is it pearl white or beige color?)
btw, any issues with the older tube? do you still have it?
For sale: Quality alt-azimuth mount and accessories.
Arief, it is actually based on the older tube, the black paint was replaced by ivory white powder coating (to match the color of Mewlon 210), dew shield retaining ring was replaced by teflon/phosphorous bronze and other hand-tightening rings such as dewshield cap and 2nd tube compression ring were re-grooved to get a surer and better feel.

Just found out last week that not all surveyor tripods have the same center hole size on its hub. Weiming and I tested astroslew on his aluminum surveyor, the mount couldn't sit safely on the base because it has a slightly bigger center hole than the one on my wooden tripod. Will need to insert a metal plate (that has a smaller center hole) between the tripod base and mount head to fix it. So, if you intend to use astroslew with surveyor tripod, better buy the mount head first, get the 3/8" bolt, and test it on the tripod you want to buy.Here's the pics of Astroslew on Surveyor wooden tripod.

The above setup looks unbalance and the pier is sinking due to high load...
