Problems with equatorial Mount Drive!

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Lawrence, what mount are you using?
Have you tried the mount without the OTA on it? does it still work, or not?
Can you hear any activity? motor running? gears?

EZ Focus Kit

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hello David!

I personally installed the EZ-Focus kit on my scope (10" LX-200GPS) and it works like a charm! Probably one of the BEST add-ons to my scope. The focuser is as smooth as it gets!

As far as the procedure goes, well, it is not bad at all. If you have a mechanic inclination then it will be a piece of cake. If not, no biggie, it might take you a little longer, but I do not forsee anybody having real problems with it, as the procedure is pretty straightforward and simple, if you follow the instructions...

I'll definitely say "Go for it"!

One happy EZ-Focus kit owner/user!
