Re: GM-8 Oldham coupler alignment
Hi Greg,
Ok...you have an RA OPW, so the blocks are supposed to be well aligned.
You must then determine if the 1022 sec glitch really does repeat at that

That large T style handle looks impractical because there are 2 Alt bolts on each side that must be secured and the large handle can easily block one of them (the lower one in the picture).? To me

Re: GM-8 Oldham coupler alignment
Thanks, Michael.
I do have the OPW assemblies. The separate bearing blocks were more of a challenge to pinch together and align -- I just don't have enough dexterous appendages to manage. Don't have

Re: GM-8 Oldham coupler alignment

You can use them all over the mount and tripods for things that need regular adjustment and additional leverage. The great thing for those who don't know it is that the levers can be repositioned as

GM-8 Oldham coupler alignment
Question... is there any decent way one can check if the oldham coupler is actually properly aligned when reassembling the drive? Not a lot of clearance between the worm block and the gear housing.

I have those same looking levers on the Gemini-1 to attach it to the "ears"

Thanks David,
I didn't realize those were 3/8" diameter. I only have G2 and the mount ears to G2 controller wingbolts seem thinner than 3/8".

I can attest to that given the number of G1s I have had in for repair with PCB damage caused by over long bolts.
