Adelain, No problems. I like this community spirit and am proud to add a small part of goodwill. After all I have the parts gathering dust and the knowledge going to waste!

In general I cannot scavenge parts as generally I would never put an IC back in I de-soldered however, there are 2 PIC micro-controllers, one for RA one for DEC and a Amtel 8 bit CPU that is socketed and can be removed without damage. Also the RA/DEC encoder IC's are a bit difficult to come by and if really needed I may have to scavenge.

So all that said...yes send me your damaged Gemini I can at least ascertain if I can fix it. If need I can fix Peters quickly and then try to repair the original Gemini.

I'll PM you my address.
