Had one, time to get a new. Thanks!

Tried it now, pretty much the same result - once or twice it runs for up to 12 sec if use low speed, then it drops back to 5 sec 🤷‍♀️

The handset use Exos EQ v 2.3, it's just called Bresser GoTo Handbox. I use a 12V, 3A. I changed it recently as Bresser said that 3A would be better. What puzzles me is that 1 - the RA axis motor runs fine, does not stop when I use the "guide arrows" (handset), you cam run it back and forth all you want, and 2 - that on the Dec axis the motors run exactly 5 sec, then stop, then run 5 sec again, and continue to do it until the won't run when I hit the arrow key. 🤷‍♀️

Good evening, Have had to drop this for a while but now all is re-assembled (new ball-bearings, cleaned, etc. (https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/418182-bresser-messier-exos-2eq-5-goto-worm-gear-problem/) I now have come to the second problem (was hoping that it would disappear...), that the Dec axis, when I move it using the handbox, runs for 5 sec intervals, 2-10 times (sometimes more, some times less), then everything stops. You cannot use any of the axis motors , none of the arrow buttons work, but it sounds like the engines are activated (low buzzing sound). Makes no difference if you go clock-wise or counter clock-wise, and it does not occur on the R.A. axis/motor. Any ideas?? Cheers, Magnus

Thank you for the explenationsons! I'll try that. About the casing, I checked after you mentioned it, it's OK. There was just string of dirt. Thanks!

It's true that wear is not so likely, they are not sitting in an engine after all. My thought was more some sort of damage, since there is a slow sort of vibration when I turn the cog wheel. I suppose it's not very expensive to change them? Just to be on the safe side...

Hi! I have bought a second-hand mount and I'm trying to make it work OK (found problems as soon as I tried photography). As it's the first time I deal with this type of mechanics (has mainly been in cars and boats before 😝) I am bit lost... The worm gears, when I turn the cog wheel on the right, it does not turn effortlessly and smoothly (I imagined it would) but with a bit of resistance and with some "choppiness"? A bit like turning a ratchet wheel, it's a bit hard to describe... 😬 Is it normal or do I need to change the ball bearings? All advise is welcome Thanks! Magnus PS. Then I need to adjust the gears, but that's next step

Swedish and living outside Malaga. Have decided to take up an interest I had as a teenager 😀 Trying to get my Bresser Messier HEQ5 exos/2 up and running 😝
