Here are my two main telescopes:
A 10' f/10 Meade LX200 riding on an Orion EQ G (aka a Skywatcher EQ 6). The mount electronics recently failed, but after an extended look for parts, I finally found an "upgraded" motor control board (MCB) for Skywatcher EQ 6 from a place in the UK. I ordered it on a Saturday, and had the parts by Wednesday. It was a direct replacement/upgrade that was truly plug-and-play. The only difference now is that black facia plate is now white, and the logo says Skywatcher instead of Orion. But it works perfectly...
My other scope is a 10" f/5.5, or so, Dobsonian. It has a two inch eyepiece holder with a Crayford focuser.
