Replacement part for faulty PEC sensor in LX200GPS

Hi everyone,

I was using my scope recently and had the common ( in older scopes at least) "PEC not working" screen appear on the Autostar II. After doing a little research I found the problem was that the hall effect sensor had come loose and been damaged by the worm drive.

Does anyone know if it is possible to replace just the sensor component and if so, which exact component is needed?

Bintel can do it for a reasonable price but it looks like something I could fix at home without dragging the scope across town. I'd just need the right type of hall effect sensor to suit the electronics.

Thanks for any advice in advance.
Ross.
