Re: G-11 Re-Lube
Brian,
I got a tube of Lube Gel from Radio Shack for $3 or $4. A 3 oz tube should
last quite a long time. It claims Superior adhesion:stays where you put it,
Non-toxic and Non corrosive, won't wash

Re: GM8
If you have DSC encoders then its a good idea to get the delrin covers..they
prevent the encoder cables from getting caught in the gears.

Thanks to all who contributed to advise on relubing the G-11. With

Just a note here, (to get it off my chest, and because I know

I absolutely love my G11. Fabulous piece of equipement. Built

Re: JMI NGC MAX complete install kit for G11
the only encoders to get are the ones from Losmandy, other encoders interfere
with the clutch operation..you can use any computer you like. Get the delrin
encoder covers and route the cables neatly

Re: JMI NGC MAX complete install kit for G11
Glenn,
Any of the Tangent boxes will work but as far as the encoders are concerned the Losmandy encoder kit
is the best for the mount. If you don't have the delrin gear covers, get them also.

Re: Worm drives
Hi there,
I use a feeler guage and gradually increase space until the worm is free to
turn the wheel gear with a little backlash. In RA a little backlash is OK
since we only drive in one direction.
