Hi Gary

I'd be very gratefull for your thoughts on a problem thats surfaced
recently with my unit.

Its been so wet this year I can honestly say I've become a little
dusty on using the argo unit maybe. as well.

Ok , so I power up and fix the alt ref as always no problems
go to aligna stars, warp factor both come up as zero as I recollect they always do ?...Move on to find object and its nowhere near the right bit of sky .

Start over .. fix alt ref.. move on to check encoders
as far as I can tell through all movements things appear normal
and alt movement is always parking back at 90 or very close .
After alignment I check the encoders and alt can be reading maybe 110 or more.

any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong ?


grub screw on alt encoder does appear tight

many thanks graham
