Thanks Jim. At least you got the screw loose. Sounds like a gear puller needs to be employed.

I believe you said "EAA".. i.e. you'll be looking at the computer screen?? If that's wrong, then ignore this message.. If that's the case, then you don't need anything remotely close to a Paramount or

Thanks a ton for these latest replies!!! Yes, I do know the added costs.... (my spreadsheet is a scary thing to look at).? ?It's the same story with all the next tier mfgrs I've looked at (AP,

Liam, The G11 is, in my opinion, the best bang for the buck. It has a greater weight capacity and doesn't cost that much more. Not hard to set up either unless you have serious back problems. This 70+

That is unquestionably true. AP prices are for mount only. You will need counterweights, a counterweight bar, a dovetail to mount your telescope, a flat surface adapter and knobs to mount them on

There are bolts (I think 2 on the G11 tucked motor system) that hold the vertical plate; that plate holds the gears and gearbox. If you remove the bolts that hold the plate on, then you can take the

John FYI -? I tried removing the upper gear that drives the worm and I couldn't even when I loosened the grub screw. Jim

Thanks Michael! I tried wrenches from 3 different sets, but none would match. I was thinking of looking for a small precision set somewhere but no luck yet.? But any further info would be great!

Hi John, The size is nominally 0.050 (I once called the factory and Mr Losmandy told me that is the right nominal size). I then I also had the same problem on the gearbox gear of the G11T. I could not

Hi! I've had similar knocking sounds at times. I had it last night, adjusting the RA gear. It disappeared last night when I adjusted the worm against the big wheel - I have a OPW and screwed it out

I just finally got a decent DSO image, so count me in the "if I can do it, anyone can do it" category.. Tonight was below the normal.. 3 hours and I was at 0.92 arcseconds total RMS on both axis..

Hello all: Speaking of gearboxes, I am now thinking of the value of potentially replacing one I have on my G11G in hopes of gaining some extra smoothing of RA periodic error. The last time I had my

Thanks all, I really appreciate the thoughtful responses. It sounds like the GM8G with a guide scope should be a pretty decent setup to start with. Since my focus is on live stacking at outreach

Just FWIW, I have a newer GM811 running on 12V on the same 5A supply that runs my mini-PC and cameras and have zero issues here in metro Detroit at temperatures as low as 10F. I do not limit the slew

I'm guessing alcohol.? any solvent that won't eat the plastic case/gear.? There is a plastic gear so be aware of that (no idea what won't eat that)

Hey Brian - Ain't ragging on the mount.? I love mine.? I have always used slow slew speeds as I think everything is happier that way.? I also use a higher voltage power supply. All I'm sayin' is

I'm pretty sure Superlube tastes - like - well - grease :)? I laughed for a few after reading that! I never intended this to be some super engineering paper where I put a gearbox on a shaker table,

I've heard a few high torque motors make a "Clicking" sound which maybe mistaken for an internal gear.?? One quite a bit, one when position orientated.? I haven't taken one apart aka removed the

then IMO you should order a new AP Mach2 and a lot of accessories and be done with it. As an AP owner also, i will tell you that number is way low. That is just the mount head. By the time you get
