I have a Meade lxd 55 goto mount and a dud paddle.
I sneaked it into a repair job with other "normal" items for repair with a guy who fixes tvs.
I dont hold much hope of repair and I wont buy another if indeed you can find one...however my thought is..wire the motor direct with a "volume" control"☺ er potentcheometer I think however its spelt☺ such that I can dial in the ra to track ...polar aligned well would see this unit, with the dec assembly removed and a fitting to hold the camera a handy thing... I made one with another mount which is not goto but am having motor problem due to its hand paddle...a pre goto sold as a eq5 ... way before the newer ones...
Anyways can I do what seems like a possibility.
