Tuning up the CG-5 Mount

[lepton3 (Ivan)]

Time to give the CG-5 mount a proper tune up. I've got a set of replacement teflon bearings and some ultralube grease.

Here's the mount in bits, just wiped the grease off.

Work continues while the thunderstorms rage outside.

Bearing surfaces smoothed with 600 grit wet & dry, then polished with metal polish.

Did this to all surfaces that come into contact with each other.
