Do you recognize this scope and mount?

As subject... I have found this today on carboot ... I'm wondering if this will handle my 13kg flex tube..

[Cornelius Varley]

It looks a lot like a Tal 2M.

Don't recognise the mount, but 13kg is in HEQ5 territory & from the pic that mount looks considerably "less" than that.

I think it's a TAL M1 mount (both RA and DEC are tangent arms). If it was a M2 mount it would have been able to carry up to 20kgr.  I think it will not suit you.

That is a Tal mount, as it looks to not be motorised not an M model.
What diameter is the tube?
 

[Alfian]

Definitely a Tal mount. Ota too big for the Tal1 (110mm) so I'm guessing it's the  6". Though they are sturdy and built like a tank I would be surprised if it would adequately handle 13kg. The scope looks in good fettle though, how much is it going for?

If the optics look good and the mechanics are fine, that's a good deal. But I'm sure you can beat him down  ?

Great buy indeed!

It's a good deal at £50 for the scope and the mount. Not so good if the scope is no use to you. The TAL mount is OK but won't cope with your flextube. It's the same mount Tal supplied with the TAL 100R refractor.
