The upper clutch surface is flat, no groove. Hey Glenn I noticed in your picture that your Oldham coupler is way out of alignment. Mine were too when I bought mine new (G11G) in October. I

Thanks, Brendan. That makes sense. I seem to recall that the manual didnt mention slackening or tightening these screws. A Happy New Year and Clear Skies in 2018 to all! David

yes Glenn, that looks like it from what I remember.

Hi Glenn, So is there a matching groove in the upper clutch surface? Any photos of your clutch disc on the upper clutch surface? Chip

Hi Paul, I thought the OP was asking about his altitude adjustment moving around. What's the toe saver have to do with anything? Chip

Hi David....if you have the 2 bolts each side. Usually you can leave the pivot bolt a little loose...not much just a little and undo the upper tangent bolt a little to make altitude adjustments, nip

My G-11 has two bolts on each side. Do I need to loosen all four before adjusting the altitude, or just the two that run in slots? David

I think you mean the dec shaft. But yes, the counterweight slipping off while it’s being adjusted could hurt someone, and/or damage the ‘scope when it slams against the mount about 1/2 second

Glenn, let me see if I can find a picture online. Otherwise I would have to take mine apart to show you. Greg S.

Greg S, if you get a chance, would you mind posting a picture of the wavy washer and where exactly it sits in the RA axis? I called Losmandy a couple of times this week but got no answer. Maybe

I think Paul has noticed this: ... the astromart ad picture of the CG11 shows the Elevation axis bolt with no flat washer under its bolt head. It would be important to have that in place, to keep

Paul, What are your saying? What's dangerous about the images? Chip

A very dangerous situation - the RA shaft washer is missing. Paul

Yeah those are the links...thanks Bryan...no idea why they disappeared on my post. Many thanks for fixing. Brendan

I too have an older G-11 mount that lacked the locking bolt that was added on to later models. Having a low-cost lathe/mill machine - I decided to take the mount apart, and I modified the base to
