Crikey, talk about throwing me under the bus, thanks Logie. LOL.

The problem is with the motor, or just it might need a service?

To be honest, I'd write to Baader Planetarium and ask them? They may have an idea.

If that fails, (and likely it will, but try), then look at the two segments of the motor. The electric section first. Most any competent auto-electrician can look at a simple motor and give advice, or may be able to suggest someone that can.

The second section is the pure mechanical side, bearings, cogs, gears. An engineer should be able to look at that, and assist. Re-greasing etc. This section could possibly be done by most handy-persons anyway.

Good luck.
Gary
