The Bartel electronics are complete, no need for soldering irons!! Bartel works as the interface between the motors and a computer running windows 3.1 or Dos 6.4. Uses the parallel port for connection. The computer gives the display of telescope position, tracking and motor control. There's also a handlepaddle to allow easy postioning. Fully supported by users group and many upgrades and databases available. It can also interface with digital setting circles for additional accuracy.
You'd need to figure out the connections from the motors/ gearboxes to the Alt/ Az parts of your mount. Bartel's website gives plenty of ideas and options regards gear ratios and drive configurations. Can give tracking at sub -arc second accuracy. Comes with original documentation and all necessary cables etc.
