Thanks Brian,

It is fine with me that the?mod needs to be done inhouse. However, is there a way to get in the que without shipping my mount and being without it for a significant?time period? I live fairly close by and can drop off the mount at any convenient time for you guys. I can pay upfront and as my turn comes up I can swing it by and maybe get an email or call from you when it is completed. A?two week window is good with me, and I don`t mind paying two or three months in advance of the?modification. I am easy to work with.?

Anyway, take care.

Hi James
?
right now there's a significant lead time for all modifications. For better and worse, astronomy has really exploded in popularity, and the gear that goes along with it.?
?
The spring-loaded worms is a factory mod. We did try to come up with a DIY mod we could ship out, but we couldn't design one that checked all the boxes and ensured success when installing at home.

If you can part with your mount for an extended period of time, you can send it in an get in the queue, or you might consider holding off until the backlog is cleared out?


>>One more thing, I can do the spring loaded worm mod to both axis?

yes you can do it on both axis. i recommend that.?

>>> if I can and choose to have the have the tucked in motor modification latter, will that be an issue?

I'd have to check. I think the spring-loaded worm requires the tucked in motors (or vice versa, i'm focused on something else at the moment)?

personally i'd do them both at the same time if you could. it will save time and I also think the service to clean and relube everything is a bargain once they have it apart.?

Hey Brian, I am interested in the spring loaded worm mod for the G11. I called in and asked about the tucked in motor mod, as well. There is a significant lead time for the tucked in motor upgrade. I was wondering if the spring loaded worm mod needs any fabrication, or can I just bolt it on and go. Also, if I can and choose to have the have the tucked in motor modification latter, will that be an issue? Is there any particular order to these changes that are optimal?

One more thing, I can do the spring loaded worm mod to both axis?

Thanks and take care,

James
