... in ... i tried calling Meade to order the motors and he said that they don`t sell them,that i have to go to a Dealer,Anyone in particular you spoke to?...
I think it depends on how you present your inquiry. I would make sure to give the impression that I was trying to "repair my existing 4504 mount" as opposed to...
I usually make a note of who I talked to and when. I'll check around my desk when I get home tonight and see if I kept my note on who I talked to. As I noted...
Hello all, It has been awhile since I've posted here, but I just wanted to update the group on how my CG5/DS motor/Autostar 497 has been doing. Tonight, I did...
Saturday night I set up in my driveway to test a combination of a 497 Autostar, an LXD500B mount and an ETX125 OTA. I've had all of these for awhile, but...
Hi Christopher: You were working on a roboscope project using lxd-75 motors - did you finish it? I'm doing an LXD-75 up too, so I'm curious. Thanks, Michael...
First thing I would check is your power supply. Make sure it is using fresh batteries and the cord and plug are undamaged. Also look for corrosion on battery...
I am currently working on roboscoping a Losmandy G-11 with LXD-55/75 motors. Is that what you are referring to? Otherwise roboscoping Vixen GP and clone...
Hey Christopher: I know you'd made reference to roboscoping a mount w/ lxd-75 motors. I'm roboscoping a mount that I machined myself in the late 70's, so it's...
I had similar problem with a DS motor that would run on it's own randomly and would sometime calibrate and others times not. The problem turned out to be a...
Just and FYI... The first thing I did on my AutoStar controlled mounts was do away with the coiled Meade cable. I found it too confining and the connectors...
I have not posted any info or digipics on my retrofit project yet. My efforts have been intermittent as I try to fit in machine shop time between work and...
You and 100 other people! I have built and unbuilt three different approaches so far. Currently I am working on a design that will minimize mount crash points,...
Well, it looks like I've thrown £100 down the drain as Paypal will only investigate if it is within 45 days of the payment being made: "Most disputes can be...
Did you pay via credit card? If so, have you investigated remedy through them? "My advice is free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Network Design...
Bad news, Chris. But what about your Credit Card supplier - perhaps they can put pressure on Paypal? And surely if Eugene is pulling a fast one his local...
I've now tried to claim in my case, but like you it's more than 45 days since the order, and it's been rejected. Eugene's been crafty there by stating 4 to 6...
For information: I've now contacted my UK Mastercard supplier, and it appears that they are happy to refund me immediately and reclaim from Paypal, who then ...
Thanks all. I found at least one of the problems. I have two power cords. The tip on one got reversed (I was reminded of the old line, "Of all the things I've...
I've repaired these tiny traces all the time. The first method is to find were the trace leads to. Many times it's easier and safer to solder a jump from the...
I've been spectacularly unsuccessful in searching for the original spec's of my used Vixen DMD-2 hand controller (Mount=GP, 2xMT-1 motors.) After replacing the...
Weird! That's all I can say. I have no helpful advice on this one. Maybe ask on the Vixen Yahoo group? "My advice is free and worth every penny!" -Christopher...
