It is sooo easy to bend and when I got a new one, the drive was quite acceptable (in hindsight, all I needed was a new encoder disk!).
Sorry I can't help much more. The LXD55 was my 1st mount (very similar to the LXD75) and quite advanced for its time and I learnt heaps from it.
Good luck,

It is unfortunate that Lex is closing down, on the plus side there are some bargains to be had. I enquired about replacement motors at the start of the year and he said they were available, kinda wish I didn't put it on the backburner until now
. I will probably need new encoder wheels as mine seem to have got bent when I took them to an electronics guru in town. I've been speaking with Adelaide Optical and they might be able to repair them for me.

Hi Ross,
That would be great if you could have a look.
Cheers,
