I only come here when I need help, poor form , sorry...

Just recently the scopes decided that stars should look like barbells, RA only dec is fine, so pull it to bits and have a squiz...

This is what I find, metal shavings, now I would love to know where these came from, you can see that the driven gear is nylon, the driver is copper, the worm is stainless and the gear is alloy, none of whitch are magnetic. In the picture attached you can clearly see the shavings stuck on the motor housing through magnetism, and there are a few little shards embeded in the nylon gear. Whilst Im not convinced this is the reason for the sudden onset of barbellism, Im open to any help I can get....

Thankyou all

Shawn
