I've heard quite alot of chat about issues of EQMOD devices blowing boards on skywatcher. I personally haven't come across the issue so it may well be a furphy. I thought I'd do a poll (Anonymous) with the plan to send it to Skywatcher themselves with the hope of getting some official support.
If you have had an issue with a certain 'brand' then please pm me with details.
Again - If you have stuffed your mount and claimed under warranty, try to be discrete! I don't care and won't let on, but walls have ears
If you know of someone who is not on the forum, answer for them too.
BTW - This is not a Skywatcher beat-up. My EQ8 is absolutely stunning...
