Re: [Utah-astronomy] Re: Meade question
Hey, Rob, thanks. I was trying to have this scope running for the owner to use this month, but that's not going to happen. I have to make a couple of real eyepieces for it first. If you want to send just the equatorial head and motors (disassembled), I'd happily reimburse you for the postage. And I can always use another little counterweight.

You want a unit to work with?? I have one like you describe that seems to work (gears turn) that I got from a fellow that "stored it in the house". Mirrors are shot, rust and weeds in the tripod legs, etc BUT the motor works and wasn't attached at all, just dust covered. It's yours if you want.
Hi Chuck I don't have the equatorial head. When I got the scope, it had the head. when I closely examined it, all the cast gears were corroded and the casting where the CW shaft was, wasn't. I suppose it was knocked over and broken, no CW's were included or the missing shaft. I have the drive motor and controller already in Priority envelope ready to do, just need a mailing address and it'll go off as soon as I go to do recycling. Aloha Rob PS just double checked to se if I really did throw it out It's gone ......
