I take it that the CGEM dove tail mount is a standard then ?




Yes, CGEM uses a Celestron CGE-style or Losmandy D-plate dovetail bar.

I don't know of another equatorial head that would be compatible with a CGEM tripod other than another CGEM head.

Maybe look for a used Atlas/EQ-6 or Sirius/HEQPro with losmandy dovetail saddle adapter as alternative mount for your 9.25" SCT while waiting for repair. Good luck!
