Hi All,
Recently I aquired a SitechServo system to make my G-11 a got mount. In the kit I also recived the following items which I do not required for my project. I bought the whole kit as the seller did not wish to piece it out.
I only need to keep the Sitech controller.
The Kit was used to operate a home made Fork Equatorial mount inside a backyard observatory. They are used and in working condition.
This is what I have, the prices are what you would pay for new ones.
2 x Pittman motors @ $155 $310
2 x optional shaft encoders@$125 $250
2 x 25:1 RS gear boxes $160
Total new $720.
Also included are the cables for the encoders and motors.
I wills sell the lot for $400 plus shipping.
All you need is to get a Sitech Controller from

Or you could also adapt these to work with a ServoCat system.
Attached are pictures of the 2x Encoders, 1x Servo Motor and 1x Gearbox. Note previous owner has machined a plate to allow mounting of gearbox to the motor. The Motor comes with its own Gear reducer 5.9:1.
Motor specs are 30v Pitmman motors. Model No 9236c534-r2 30.3vdc.
The previous owner ran these at 12v to move his fork mount with 12.5" Telescope. But these could easily move a 30" Telescope.
Encoders are 8192 tic encoders. The model is US Digital S6S-2048-B
