It¡¯s been pointed out to you the various costs of upgrading versus replacing. To give you just one data point of consideration. My GM8 is circa 1994. There was no Gemini at the time. I Upgrades years ago to Gemini 1 prior to Gemini 2 existing. I have regressed through the years. Mount is a tank and I have no interest in replacing it. It is my middle mount in terms of weight and tracks perfectly with guiding.?

Hi, ?
First post here so glad to meet anyone.? I recently got a GM8 and it looks to be in pretty good condition. It has the digital drive 492 on it currently and I want to upgrade to Gem 2 for the go-to and potential tracking it provides as my interest in AP may grow.? This is my first Losmandy mount after lusting after them for some time.? The question is, when I send out in for a full Gem 2 upgrade will that include any kind of lube, clean or inspection as the upgrade is done? I ask because I am going to order the services so I can get a date at least to get the work done through Losmandy site.? I hope the question is clear, if not any help is appreciated for sure. Thank you and I look forward to many different topics as time goes on and I learn more about the mount!!
