LXD75 Motor

liamtech · 2021-11-21 20:30:35

Hi Folks - Just want to ask a question in relation to the LXD75 - i have two of these mounts but one of the motors/Electronic-components has unfortunately packed in on me. I feel now that i must convert this to a NON-GOTO and simply use it 'on manual' - However i wanted to ask if it were possible to purchase a replacement…

Hi Folks - Just want to ask a question in relation to the LXD75 - i have two of these mounts but one of the motors/Electronic-components has unfortunately packed in on me. I feel now that i must convert this to a NON-GOTO and simply use it 'on manual' -
However i wanted to ask if it were possible to purchase a replacement GOTO system for it - this Bresser for example

I notice it is listed as being a useful upgrade for a number of manual EQ5-Equivalent Mounts - would this be a possible get outta jail card for me? I have been checking for the actual replacement components and it seems like they are unavailable for a modest price -

Thanks in advance
