Hi Alex,
Alas, there is no shortage of prior art. And alas there is also no shortage of stories
even in the professional telescope community of engineers battling with alignments
of friction rollers for encoders.
Would you be able to get a picture of your friend's scope? I could have a quick look.
As advised in the P.M. I sent, I will follow-up for you on a recommendation for the
encoder installation on your own scope.
Best Regards
