Re: AR Gemini 1 motor screw info
Thanks Paul and Brendan for the advice, interesting discussion regarding the large steel washers to be placed behind the engine crankcase. I must say that at the moment the problem is relatively small

Re: AR Gemini 1 motor screw info

AR Gemini 1 motor screw info
Hi, I noticed that one of the screws that hold the Losmandy G11 AR motor tight (attached is an example photo), does not tighten all the way, i.e. it loosens but still grips, the motor however does not

Re: I am getting DEC motor stalled during boot up with no buttons pressed.
John is it a G1 or G2? ? ?First thing is swap Ra cable (at motor end) to DEC and visa versa. ? Does issue change axes or stay with motor ? Get back we can take it from here. ? Most of issues like

Hi, if you know a bit about electronics and coding for arduino this is super easy. I did exactly that for my SCT with an added Crayford style focuser. Just need a stepper motor (I used one with 1.8

Re: Power supply - is 18.2V ok?
Much appreciated Mr. Duke! I'm retiring my Kendrick power supply and will need that 4 pin Amphenol to craft a cable. 90 degree = perfect application! For the record: I see nor hear any difference

Re: Power supply - is 18.2V ok?
Just a follow up in case anyone else in the future is looking for a power supply. I've had about 4 nights with the NEC ADP57 and it's working great. I bought a "Genuine New NEC Versa AC Adapter ADP57

Re: G11 Reassembly - Ring Gear
Let's do the math, what did you change? If an assembly slips apart freely at room temperature it will be just as easy to reassemble at room temperature. If you had to resort to using a dead blow
Re: G11 Reassembly - Ring Gear
Unfortunately, that was not my experience. The cleaned surfaces coated with a thin layer of assembly lube did not slip together easily. Even a couple of taps with a dead blow mallet did not make me

Re: G11 Reassembly - Ring Gear
There is no need to heat the the worm wheel for assembly. As you experienced during disassembly they are machined to fine tolerances so if there is a bit of lubricant, the surfaces are clean and

Re: G11 Reassembly - Ring Gear
Thank you for your advice. I also got some assistance from Michael Herman, he mentioned the same things all of you did. This is what I had to do. I cleaned the ring gear and heated it in the oven at
