Yes Brendan, Al on Al will gall quickly given half a chance (even if it's hard anodized). I also recall burnishing the threads and deburing the thread holes on the ID when I got a set of knobed knobs

Finally had a clear night here in the Florida panhandle so I took the scope out and set it up here in the apartment perimeter on an asphalt road...Think I made a boo-boo during my setup... First thing

The orthogonality of axes and parallelism of clutch surfaces has been done before http://helixgate.net/g11.html. ( Michael Siniscalchi ). My guess the clutch has a purposes there must be some tension

Say what?? Did I miss something somewhere?? Derek _____ Sent: Friday, October 13, 2017 3:48 PM To: Losmandy_users@... Subject: [Losmandy_users] Re: New G11 / Gemini 2 user with issues..

I'm getting the feeling (maybe a little late- hehe) that there are a whole lot of Losmandy mounts with potential axis to thrust bearing face alignment issues. (meaning thrust bearing face to axis

With that I agree Chip, and I may look into a set of those pads just out of curiosity as my own out of square issue persists despite my best efforts. Jeff

I think we are all under too much pressure! We must stop beating ourselves up... there is certainly a design issue with the plastic clutch disks. They slip for a variety of reasons: 1. the plastic is

Hi Tom, They are out there if you look on some of the European sites and there are several US web pages with these issues too but usually they are resolved by returning the worm to Ovision and getting

Derek, I meant the original hardware that was used to attach the gearboxes and servomotors to each other and to the plate on the mount itself. Sorry for the confusion. Chip

Hi Tony, That top contraption is not a Losmandy part, remove it by loosening the large silver knob under the wacko bolt and knob. If the resulting saddle is 3" wide then you should buy a used or new

Hi Jeff, Well we can't help it if people don't know what "tight enough" means. For those people Michael Herman has some trick clutch pads which are much grippier than the slick hard plastic discs used

Hello everyone, I just bought a GM8 used off of craigslist and it's a fantastic mount. I'm excited to be part of the losmandy owner's club! I do have one issue, I noticed that the saddle has the

" the fact remains that you can easily turn the RA or DEC axles with the clutches fully locked up" And you can keep twisting the knobs far past that point Chip. That's my whole point. People speak of

Jeff, My comment was with the clutch loose, the lower bearing carries zero load. once you start to apply clutch pressure the lower thrust bearing starts to carry some of the load. As clutch pressure

Derek, Nice to read you already put in a Losmandy order...but wish Chip to do a pickup if possible. I plan to stop at his place tomorrow evening. Chip planned to go there tomorrow. He was going to buy

I will have to look, but I am pretty sure I do not have the 'old hardware'.. My Mount is not very old.. I will check into tomorrow and work it out with Michael via offline emails.. Thanks for the

Hey there Mike.. If you are able to swing by Losmandy before you return, let me know! That would be fantastic!!! I will send you a shopping list, as I 'placed an order' a week ago, but heard nothing

Hey Chip, regarding your first comment... "The thing is there are two thrust bearings and as you increase the total load the lower thrust bearing reduces the load on the upper bearing." Huh? My logic

Thanks Chip...I just have not seen the number of Ovision worm returns and very mixed reviews. Must have missed them. Tom

Tom, Scott doesn't need to characterise his worms, obviously measuring them is not particularly valuable as many Ovision worms with glowing certificates performed very poorly. If you get a Losmandy HP
