Re: G11 cable management
Hi Dale, I have no idea where you got that pricing for the tucked motor update but it sounds incorrect. I had already installed a full new Gemini 2-mini with HT servomotors and HP-worms on both the RA

Re: High precison worm vs OPW-11?
Hi Don, I think you can get significantly better/lower error rates by switching to the HP-worm and new OPW on the RA axis only. This runs about $275 plus shipping, well worth the money. I say this not

Re: High precison worm vs OPW-11?
Hi guys! My big question remains - can I use the high precision worm with my existing black blocks, or do I need the One Piece system? That is, can I just buy the far cheaper worm, or do I need the

Re: G11 cable management
Thank you Brian. I looked at the Losmandy site for the motor upgrade and almost fainted when I saw it was $1000 plus the RA extension kit for $300! At that point were almost talking about the money of

Re: G11 cable management
Hi Dale The motor upgrade I think you are referring to is the tucked in motors. Call Losmandy and they can fill you in. Also FYI I run across to my rigrunner you just need to wire something like a

Re: DEC stalls on new mount
I ran through the procedure on the Losmandy video and it¡¯s working now! It may not be optimal but it is working. Once I looked at the unit in better light it was obvious which two screws were needed

Re: DEC stalls on new mount
