Hi all!

I didn't come across this thread in time, and so put a post on C/N (link below). Your pics have at least confirmed what I suspected was missing with mine John. I doubt I'll ever be able to find wheels and worms for mine, which is a shame, because although simple and cheaply made, it's a good mount with a very solid tripod. As mine is at the moment, it's not a heck of a lot better than an alt/az. I wonder if they were actually sold like this, or whether some previous owner has 'lost' the drive bits? I may come after you for some close-ups of the worm cages and worms some time, although I think it would be too expensive to get them made.

Cheers

Max
