Stu If you have any version of the Gemini, you are using servo motors. Tom

Frank If your motors have the round din plugs to go into the Gemini, then yes. If your motors have the RJ45 connectors, then you would need adapter cables. Tom

Hi Tom, I have the round ones. If that is what it is, what cost do I see to convert to Gemini Two ? Frank To: Gemini-II@... From: tom@... Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 01:44:42

Hi, I talked to some folks today with some knowledge of the MI-250 and the Gemini II system (Hmm...wonder who that might be). I thought I would share my tid bits as I was a bit confused reading

Frank The Basic Gemini 2 unit without motors. Tom

Great Tom...thanks. Regards, Stu

Hi Rainer, Welcome! No, G1 is not dead. Once everything with G2 is working fine my next project for the G1 will be to adapt the new HC to it. This will need an adapter for the DB15 (like the one Tom

Is the new Gemini 2 going to be happy with lower voltages than the old Gemini 1? Anyone know anything about this? Thanks, Jerry . . . . . . . . . . .

Jerry, Not an easy question! We experimented with the PWM handling. The new algorithm gives more torque at low speeds, so guiding/tracking should be somewhat better. Of course, the motors are the

Hi René, Thank you for your reply. So, bottom line, what is the minimum voltage that the Gemini 2 requires to work in the field at a remote location running off of deep-cycle batteries? Will it

Hi Jerry, Yes. I operate my Titan using a 12V 5A switching power supply (measured 12.2V) at home and a 12V 32Ah gel battery in the field. I used the same battery at the G1 for many years w/o any

Hi Rene, Is there a optimum slewing speed for efficiency to conserve battery strength? Thanks, Gale

All, WOW, what a flood. I like it. I've heard direct email from Russell @ Losmandy and all the answers/info here. The G2 IS spendy, but not out of the question. I'm looking G-2 with Maxons, a spare

John You might ask if you can get a rebuild motor (normal not Maxim) or yours rebuilt. I have not heard of one Maxim motor going bad so far. Could save you several hundred dollars if you

Tom, And the cost ? Frank

Hi René, That sounds great. Thank you very much for confirming this. It is good news! Jerry

Hi Steve Well I talked to Larry this morning (2-2-11). He said that he had been re-drilling the motors on the newer (white) and rebuilt (also White) mounts. This was a matter of convenience, and

One other thing Larry recommended! Larry also said that he has never seen a Losmandy rebuilt (non-maxim) motor fail. This is because they put a heat sink inside the rebuilt motors. These

Frank My understanding from Karen at losmandy, it that the basic unit without motors is $1095.00 USD. Karen posted the cost with motors in 2 previous messages. Please see them. Tom

Note to all. I do not work for Losmandy, or what used to be Mountain Instruments. I am just a user like all the rest of you. Yes I am a beta tester for the Gemini2. So any pricing that I give out is
