Correct Mike. It has dual axis drives and hand controller but it is not the "goto-ready" or goto version. I have done the Shoestring Astronomy guide port mod to the handcontroller and have an Argo Navis.

I was advised when I purchased that a kit was available to upgrade it to the full goto version. However, I'm more interested in setting it up for autoguiding hence the regrease, bearing change and clearance adjustments but wondered if it was worth changing the motors at the same time while it is in pieces.
