You should find someone with a PST, TV60, etc., put it on the mount and take a picture.
I don't know if it's the same mount, but in Astromart there's a picture of a 3600 with a Takahashi FS-60 mounted on it in the Astro-Physics forum. The scope was straining over that mount.

Why? Was the scope being used as a pier? I think something far more substantial than an FS-60 should be used as a pier for an AP3600GTO.

the photo was for laughs. This thread has unfortunately rekindled my interest in a 3600

Looks like a happy crowd with a bunch of "just right" mounts. The biggest problem I've found with the AP-1200 is you don't spend any time on the forums asking questions or comparing results. They just get it done. Very boring.
I know what you mean, Jerry! I used to do lots of reading and posting in an effort to get my GM-8 to accurately track with 25 pounds of imaging equipment. Since the Mach1 arrived, my tracking has been "ho-hum" boring.
