Elevation motor stopped working....


posted by aa4wp on Feb 07, 2008


My lx90 scope was working fine until the other night and the elevation motor stopped...the hand box indicated that the motor was not working.
I reset the system, and the elevation motor worked erratically, on, off, on, off....so I reset it again, and now no elevation motor function at all. The rotational motor (azimuth?) works ok... all speeds ok, but the altitude motor won't function.
I would like to get a hold of a break-away parts diagram and any help to get this motor running again.
