This is a Star Adventurer mount head in good cosmetic condition. The motor works. Why so cheap? Because it's got a rattle, some looseness that we cannot diagnose/correct in between the dovetail receptacle and the rest of the mount: where the white part with the black screw attaches to the black tensioner.
This rattle will most likely mess up your astrophotography, because there's some unwanted movement in there. But, but . . . if you're handy, if you want a project, if you want to take this thing apart, if you want to get this thing on the cheap, then have we got the project for you! Twenty bucks, or any reasonable offer, and it's yours!
