Is she young and single? :) On Sat, Oct 29, 2011 at 12:09 AM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>wrote:
I received an email from a lady in southern Utah with a Meade 14 LX-200 that is having troubles (never heard that before).
Quoting from her email:
"It will not slew properly, so matter how many adjustments we make to the alignment or declination. also the motor is running constantly, not just when its slewing. we had a guy up last night who used to sell these things and he could not get it to work. It appears to polar align on goto easy align, but when slewing to 2nd coordinate, it moves in random directions."
She says she sent it to the factory for repairs and when she got it back it still didn't work (never heard that before).
Poor lady sounds pretty stressed about it but I'm not able to help.
However, talking to Charlie Green I learned there's some place that specializes in getting Meade scopes to work but he can't remember details. He's going to see if he can find details when he gets home in a few days but in the mean time, anyone here know about such a place?
Thanks,
