Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have searched the web till my eyes
hurt and cannot seem to find a reasonably priced mount that will hold my
scope well. Maybe that doesn't exist.........

I think your most economical choice is to purchase a used CG-5 on astromart.
Also at some point I believe Anacortes was selling CG-5s for $250 and then of
course at least one drive is required as well if you want tracking.

The CG-4 /Orion EQ-3 may handle the scope if you upgrade the tripod, I found
that my EQ-3 with the 120mm F8.3 Orion refractor was too vibration prone with
the stock tripod. Upgrading the tripod made a huge difference.

One problem with such refractors on EQ mounts is that the legs have to close to
full extension so that when viewing near the zenith it is possible to see
anything. even with the legs extended, kneeling in the dirt is not that comfy.
