Mach1GTO case recommendations?
"Harley Davidson", I really appreciate all your videos on YouTube. It helped me a lot with my decision to get a Mach1 and 1100GTO. Also, the Rigid boxes and other things. Much appreciated. Thanks, Cha

AP Mount maitenance
Getting the old grease off and setting the gear meshes properly are the only annoying parts of the process. I think there is a YouTube video of a guy doing it exactly. Just watch that and you are good

I agree, give George at AP a call. He recommended their grease kit for my 900 I had a while back. It's comes with two types of grease for the gears and worms. It's a good kit to have. Thanks, Charles

RAPAS App
I agree Robert, choosing the correct overlay on settings is critical. However, if you have the wrong one you will know immediately. The apps definitely remember the last position and take a few second

I don't know how I missed that link on their page. It goes to the PolarFinder app we were discussing so I guess that's that. Thanks for the info! Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

Didn't Roland post his PhD2 settings last year after he got it working with the Mach2? I've been looking and can't find it. Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

Mach2 Update?
I am thinking about upgrading from the Mach1 to the Mach2. Now that some are shipping, do you have an idea how long the wait will be if it's ordered now? Just looking for an estimate. . Thanks, Charle

Using the GTO keypad with the Mach2
Yes it is a little high but I recouped all the cost and even made some money back by selling all my Moonlite focus motor controllers. Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.
