Thanks Ray i had a look at that video. The L is using the same belt as the CGX, a T5x165 P07, designated with the TLnis branding. They cut away the video of the belt drive before the mount rotated around enough to see if the belt was skewed on the sprockets, but the inside gap is the same so i think it was probably hanging over the drive sprocket as well. Surely they have to be aware of the problem. The sprockets look to be the same as well. The belt is only about 10mm wide. The motor shaft dia is 5mm. I am trying to track down a wider motor drive sprocket with the same teeth and diametre, but would surely void the warranty if i pulled that assembly apart to change the sprocket. I doubt Bintel would want to tackle disassembling the drives, so what is left, a return to Celestron?
Dylan can you have a look at your 'new' mount and see if they fixed the misaligned belt?
