Is it the white model with white legs and white knobs. ?

Is there going to be different models isn't an eq3-2 is just an eq3-2 ?i should imagine the motors for the 3-2 will work.

I have quite an old EQ3-2. These motors still work on it:

Just be sure it genuinely is a Skywatcher EQ3-2. If it says it is then you should be fine, but there are a number of other companies selling mounts using "EQ3" in the name that aren't quite the same design and the motors may well not work with those.

I'll have to pass on that one , wouldn't like to say as i don't recognize the mount?

The mount is an early EQ3-2. The dual axis and goto drives will fit it.

They will indeed. It's exactly the same as mine.
