When I bought my 12" LX200 (classic) several years back, it arrived new and straight out of the box the it had "RA Runaway" where it just kept spinning in RA immediately it was turned on.
I think you need to be a technician (of all trades) to own a medium to high quality telescope mount.
I once thought "fridges 'just work' out of the box, why don't telescope mounts??".
Re power supply - GM-8 doesn't come with one, I guess it's one way they can save on cost, when probably 1/2 the people using it won't need one.
