Ed had been selling-off drives for the last few years at bargain-basement prices, clearing out his remaining inventory. I had the foresight to grab a few drives, with extra motors. I'm glad I did as there will be no more, forever. RIP Ed, thanks for a lifetime of contributions to both amateur and professional astronomy.

Siegfried's Alvan Clark refractor is on a Byers mount. My Brandt refractor uses a Byers gear. Quality workmanship lasts.
RIP indeed.
