We know what supplier your talking about. Sounds like your up **** creek mate. JMI do encoder mounting hardware for Meade and Skywatcher dobs but not GSO/Bintel/Apertura/Zhumel. So out of luck there.
So I have 3 decent options I can think of.
1)Buy the whole kit(Encoders,cables and mounting hardware), then sell the unit?
2)Sell everything and get an Orion xx12i or a Skywatcher/Orion Goto Dob.
3)Sell the GSO Dob. Buy a Meade dob. Buy the JMI mounting hardware.
But, I have thought of a 4th option. Somewhat left field. Buy one of those really cheap goto scopes. Mount a strong laser pointer on it and use it as a laser targeting system for deep space objects.
It all comes down to how bad do you want assisted targeting?
