**SOLD** Orion EQ-2 equatorial mount with adjustable wood tripod (#9019) and Orion AstroTrack adjustable speed RA drive (#7813). Mount has been modified as follows (see photos):
- Accessory tray replaced (but is provided) with lightweight chain so tripod can be opened and folded without attachments.
- Small eyebolts have been attached to the mount to retain the leg bolts in the open mount slots when opening and folding the tripod. These also make the tripod more rigid than the original.
- The thumbscrews in the adjustable leg brackets have been replaced with larger round clamping knobs for more convenient and secure tightening.
Black painted finish on the legs has some cosmetic scuffs and scrapes as might be expected with a used wood tripod. This is the ideal "grab and go" mount for 80-102mm shorttubes. New price, with RA drive, is $187 shipped. Selling for $100.00 shipped in lower 48. Money order or PayPal preferred. Thanks for looking.
