I think you may have problems just trying to buy a new mount less the tripod unless there is one going S/H somewhere. The tripod will probably only fit another EQ6 mount.

They are almost always sold as a pair (mount/tripod) the mount is the expensive bit.

Before you rush in - have tou seen the size of one of these scopes. A 10" Dob on an EQ6 is a pretty big beast.

Peter thank you, the thing is that i don't\won't have a need for a motorized mount, that is why, is it the EQ 4\5 standard mount could it not fit on the tripod.

Astro, hi i remember seeing a 12" tube on a tripod john

An EQ3 won't fit the EQ6 tripod, besides that, an EQ3 will not support a 10" telescope. Have you thought about build a dobsonian mount for your tube ?
