A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

If there are bearing tolerances this may also be of interest for astronomers.

It would be beneficial if your friend can advise on the counts per degree of both dimensions plus the approximate angular velocity once moving.

Full dimensions of the disassembled unit, weight and number of boxes would also assist in finding a collect buyer from overseas if the project is no longer required locally.

How is the lockdown/current situation nearby ?
