[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 1166740, member: 312276"] Some time ago, I got my hands on 10 CM polar-mounts for a reasonable price. Some of them were presented to friends of mine, some were sold and shipped to members of this forum as well. But, no original CM polar-mounts are available :( . I still have one, which is slightly used, so I decided to replicate it in my favorite material.... you know :D. Of course, some brass elements should be used as well, that is manly to prevent INOX seizing (very bad thing I must add). Some parts of the original polar-mount, I change already, such as declination adjustment, elevation bolt setup, connection to vertical 76mm pipe. So, my pilot version is more or less ready. In addition to CM antennas, the polar-mount will be capable to hold Cahors 1.2m antenna. BTW, if somebody has great ideas to be incorporated in the build of the polar-mount, I am open to listen.
