Dovetail bar

I used a dovetail bar and saddle on my 14" Meade. Screwed a bolt and weight on to the saddle to make my own balancer. Workes well.

It's called the Balance Weight System & as far as I know it's not available in Oz & only ever seen it coming with the weights. I think Huey's suggestion will be the easiest/cheapest solution.

Cheers,
Mark
