I have a Losmandy GM8 that I bought from Peter in December 1997. It was about 5-6 years ago, that I got it out of storage and it didn't seem to move well. I eventually found that the RA shaft wasn't turning properly and it wasn't until I removed the RA assembly that I found that the needle bearings were jammed. It took time with WD40 to clean out the hardened grease and eventually the bearings would finally spin. After leaving it to dry out, I used some white lithium grease and massaged the grease into the bearings before reassembling the assembly.

Now, I am going through the OnStep wiki to work out how to convert this GM8 to computerized.
