I missed this auction despite having a Fullerscopes "saved search" on eBay[UK]Sellers text:
"Selling a MKIV Fullerscopes mount.
It is at the moment in original powder crackle finish but am repainting grey primer. so revised photos to follow.
RA and Dec axis mild steel 1.25" shafts are being cleaned up and re greased. RA wheel in good condition, worm may need re working.
Old spec showed 12" Newtonians with cast aluminium rings so will take newer 14" scopes, very sturdy mount capable of excellent tracking, easily fitted with AWR goto.
Includes Pier base as shown and 1 x 10Kg counterweight
For clarification. The first two photos show the mount on a short pier/pipe so that i could photograph and this is not included.
The third photo shows the parts of the mount that includes a stand off plate that allows you to mount the MKIV to your own pier.
Pick up Fareham or can courier at cost. Pier not included"
The MkIV looks almost modern with a light coloured finish.
Stand-offs to raise the mounting base from the pier top plate. An idea I might copy myself.
A 6" slow motion worm and wormwheel set.
The MkIV wormwheel had 359 teeth.
This is a later, fully enclosed worm and housing.
The auction finished on £125 after only one bid.
