Got a question for everyone.... Picked up a mount on the Mart a couple of weeks ago at a really decent price. It's has 1-1/2" shafts and, overall, is in decent shape. Just needs to be restored. My question is... It was advertised as a Parks mount with Timken bearings. Can anyone confirm this for me? -------------------- Ross Workman Frontier Observatory Dawson Springs, KY 37°16'41.7", -87°41'36.2" ------------------------- Parks 10" f/6 Superior Series Newtonian 10" f/5 Z Optical Z-Scope w/ Parks mirror Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Is it a Parks??
