Hi,

Just Google "tuning EQ6" and you will get a list (agreed, you may have already done so).

There is also a good source written for the CG5, but still with applicable stuff

http://www.astronomyboy.com/cg5/

and a compilation for EQs generally

http://www.astronomyforum.net/telesc...er-tuning.html

This forum will make you sign up once you have viewed 2 or 3 posts as a guest. No great drama.

Cheers

Tony,

I replaced two of the switches in my original hand controller for the same reason. It is a pretty easy soldering job. I got the replacement switches from RS components.
