The 12" extension is much more responsible if the issue comes for these add-ons.? Because the 12 inches of extension increases the inertia the pier must dampen much more that the slight increase from

Hey Thomas, I've just been following the thread silently as I'm at just as much of a loss as anyone else regarding a definitive source, but I did have a thought: Your very tight clutch technique may

Thanks Paul. I decided to remove the RA extension. We'll see what happens. Tom

Can't give you a definitive advice, Tom, since none of us know for sure what's going on. If you can test with an non-over tightened clutch, first, and then, if that doesn't help, try removing the RA

Hello Everyone, Tonight might be a clear night so I thought I would set up the scope.? I read in another thread that tightening the clutches excessively could cause jerky movements.? I may have

Paul: The drive noise is what you'd hear if you touched the pointed end of a phillips screwdriver to a portion of the worm gear housing and the other end to your ear. I use the mounting bolts to avoid

Hi Tim, A couple of link corrections For whatever reason John,? the part number got clipped off the links for these two. 5905K29??? ??? Needle-Roller Bearing, Open, for 1-1/4" Shaft

Tim, The rebuild and regrease of the thrust washers and bearings is not that difficult. The hardest part is removing the motor to worm assembly and getting the worm tension right when putting it all

John, thank you for the information. I appreciate it. I will put it to use with caution. Chip, thank you for all the cautionary statements. I should have provided a more detailed account for why I was

Hi Tim, Following are the part numbers I have given out to folks in the past, but I have not checked the links in quite a while. There are the Losmandy stock parts (not sure why you can't get them)

Is there something wrong with your main thrust bearings?? These almost never god bad unless the mount has been misused,.assembled incorrectly , had the wrong lubricant used or the mount has has long

Hi, Chip, Losmandy has not had these for months. Losmandy refuses to respond to requests for information about these parts. Otherwise I'd be happy to be able to get them from Losmandy.

Why, do you need replacement thrust bearings?? Why not just call Losmandy and order them, they have the correct factory spec parts in stock sitting on the shelf.? There is a bit more to it than just

Does anyone have a handle on the specs or a source for the RA and DEC main thrust bearings? I'm not looking for the smaller thrust bearings used in the clutches. Thanks in advance, Tim.

Michael Herman is a great friend and resource to the Losmandy community.? I can't imagine the Losmandy world without his contributions. That said make your life easier , t ake the Gemini and other
