Tom you¡¯re good, Paul answered better than I could. ?He¡¯s a wealth of knowledge.?
Take pics ¡.we can analyse them. Check axes are smooth and clutches engage but allow slip. ?Try to skim the G1 manual ?as there are HC shortcuts but basically it¡¯s just diamond buttons to move or select or scroll menu selections
?
Menu and down or up button allows scroll thru various menu settings. ?Using the right arrow to select a setting or up down to enter or change time, location lat/long. Etc
?
Gemini 1 uses a ¡°different utc date time code¡± in the system see Rene¡¯s site for how to enter current Gemini UTC DTG

These mounts were made to last more than one life time. ? Also all parts are available (with plenty of factory upgrade paths) and they are easily fixable if something goes wrong.?
?
Enjoy there are so many users here and a great forum to learn from ? Don¡¯t forget each forum has files and databases so you can search for particular nuts, screws. ?Losmandy sell them anyway.?
With any luck your mount will have the Hight a torque or maxon motors.?

Don¡¯t be afraid to ask questions. ?You might find users near you that will advance your knowledge in leaps and bounds.

When you get into computer control using Gemini ASCOM ten it open a whole new world of possibilities ? ?Again Paul is the fountain of knowledge on this.?
