It looks complete and I think the mount would also hold my small
The one on sale is an older version but seems to be in pretty decent shape.
Anyone have any experience with this model?

You will need to do some modifications to the mount in order to attach another scope as its made to only handle that OTA
Slipping occurs on both axes. I won't have time to pull the cover off for a day or two.Richard wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 7:45 am The motor housing on these scopes are weak and tend to break especially in the AZ axis , perhaps people try to move it manually and break it.
Is it slipping on both Alt and Az ? if only on the Alt then perhaps the clutch needs to be adjusted a bit by tightening the circular knob
Good luck any way , its easy to take apart so that you can check if anything is broken , I had 2 of these the 130 and the 114 and both had the motor housings broken , I glued them together and it worked , but if you have a 3d printer then perhaps make new ones
