I just found this thread.
I Bartelised my GEM (10"f5 newt.) about 15 months ago now. I had to beef the voltage to 24 volt (12volt steppers) to get decent slew speeds. But other than than that, the scope works fine.
My final drive is by roller and I suppose it slips a little but it's no big deal as I make sure I sync on a nearby bright star before slewing to my target, especially after a polar flip.
I'm very happy with the rig.
There are pictures of my scope all over IceInSpace but to make it easy here are some again.
