Old mach1 stiff axis
|
Andy Ermolli
The RA and DEC axes on my Mach1 have been stiff since new. The RA does not rotate under its own weight. |

When I did the clutch re-grease I didn’t come across any little washers. I have a late model Mach1, I think it was part of the final production run. Could mine be different? All the best, Kevin. On Dec 2, 2022, at 8:22 AM, Chris White <chris.white@...> wrote:

Use the same grease as with the clutch plate.

Will do. I had only lightly greased one side of the rings and washers, basically just to make them stay put. George, does it matter which grease I use on the ring? I have the AP grease kit also.
Thank you both:)
