Hi Paul

Yes it is the same mount. The problem was diagnosed as a stripped gear internal to the RA motor caused by the previous owner overtightening the locking collar on the RA worm. Apart from the damaged motor (a new one is on its way from the US) the mount had no other issues.

Apparently the previous owner serviced the mount not long before shipping it out and it appears that he did not adequately test the mount after the service.

Cheers

Lars

Is this the mount with the motor/gear problem that you mentioned on the yahoo uncensored tak group? Has it been rectified?
