Latest update …..,
Some positive news , Adriano from Testar has sourced an Az motor board for my dying Goto Dob ( don’t know the origin of the part )
Hopefully I’ll have it in a few days and hopefully it’s the correct replacement part ??
I’ll install it next week as I’m away up north until Monday.
Adriano also advised to disconnect both Az encoders ( Graeme from Skywatcher advised the same thing ) I don’t use the “Freedom Find” feature anyway.
If this part becomes a dud , he’s confident that he can source a new part from Synta ( via Skywatcher as he’s an ex Skywatcher employee)
I also have 2 other Astro resellers looking into my problem.
Worse case scenario is a new Base unit which is $2.1K
