I'm glad that your telescope will be fixed and the service is fantastic.

For those of us without servo-cat (or those of us with servo-cat who don't want to damage the cabling) this is a very good invention.
I don't want to chance that sort of event happening again!  |
I had that same problem with the 18" every time I lifted the handles to move it until I started using the servocat. I noticed if you move the alt up high and then move the telescope it helps a bit. Although a locking device should always be used when moving an assembled telescope short distances.
