Re: Mach1GTO RA axis sticking
Just ask AP to email you a paypal invoice. You can use your credit card through paypal whether or not you have an account.

Ring Terminals (CABPP18R) size
Would anyone know the size of the rings? Judging by the Powerwerx site I think they are either 3/8 or 1/4 inch but not sure.
Thanks
Bob

By the way, all the dialog boxes have a little ? in the top right corner, which will bring up the help file of that part of the program if you click on it. Lots of information in the help

I'm in Canada and I ordered the grease kit from AP. No problem at all getting it. One does have to call to order it. Daleen can take care of you.

Setting safety past meridian flip
#Mach2GTO
Normally, I have SGPro do the meridian flip, but I’d like to set my Mach2 up to stop at some time past the meridian as a safety, in case my computer dies. I realize I could edit the meridian

Re: How to Re-grease a Mach1 with Auto-Adjust Motor Boxes?
I re-greased my Mach1 (old motor box style) last year. I started with a bit of trepidation but went slow and took photos at each disassembly step. All went back together fine.

Not to worry. The 1100 mount is being assembled in normal fashion by the 1100 crew.
