Hi guys,

I need to delay the sale of this mount first. I powered up the mount just now ( has been quite awhile since I did that) and there are some issues I want to check out first. Not sure if it is the mount issue or the battery issue (the battery also has not been use for a long time). In anycase, I think it is best to test it out properly again under the skies before I sell.

So I need to pull out this ad first. Sorry for the inconvenient caused.

Thanks bro. It has been quite a while since I used it, so just want to be very sure. If I have even a small doubt that it would function 100%, I would want to check it.

This mount was hand-tuned by me in the past; from gears to calibration, so I know it was good before. But just now there were some slight issue on the button responses which may be due to the portable battery. That battery has been left collecting dust for a long time so probably the charge is weak. In anycase, I want to check and double check before it goes to the new buyer. The final check has to be under the skies. I am particularly fussy when comes to GOTO precision and I don't want the new buyer to get into mount trouble and all that.

So hope you guys understand. I would wish to collect the money today, but certain things have to wait.

Can I put a WO 80 FD refractor to work with your mount?
