Does anybody have an old EQ6 thats broken?

[blinky]

The EQ6 I have is an old one, thats been stripped and rebuilt a number of times by previous owners, as a result its missing a few bits like the work end float covers - I’m wondering if anybody has an old broken EQ6 lying about that I could purchase these parts from?  Ive contacted OVL but they say its a 4month wait for the parts and they have no come back with a price yet!  I’m also going to do a respray of it as its quite chipped and going to change it to white as well, also thinking of a few high gloss red highlights to make it go with my ZWO kit!

I think someone else here had some end float covers 3d-printed recently.  If you know someone local with a 3d printer it might be worth trying to find the posting to see if they still have the design.

Ahh, could have been.  Possibly they'd not work then.

Measure up, design and 3D print your own if you have the kit.
