Well adjustments all done - seems silky smooth - will listen to gear noises and check it needs no final tweaking - a tad of backlash left I'd say - but minimal and as all say - better a little than too tight!
Secondly I used lan cable to wire a 6 metre Serial to min sub 8 port DIN for the RS-232C PC serial port to Skysensor 2000-PC hand controller - and it all worked - very fiddly job given the size of soldering iron versus the size of the connecters - very fiddly. But it cost $11 + labour only - and checked it all with a multi-metre and its and exact duplicate of the $50 2 metre part from Astro Optical - plus its not going through a 5 metre extension and a 25 pin -> 9 pin convertor - so hopefully I'll have alot better signal.
Lastly I'm awaiting version 2.10 EPROMs from the USA to upgrade my version 2.05 hand controller - then I hope that's the last major surgey I have to do for a while!
Please now I want a beer and clear nights! Thanks to folks for their useful suggestions.
Matt
