Hi all My vixen sp mount (with dual axis motors) is feeling its age. The gears are not meshing between the motor and mount. I will be having a look myself but can anyone point me in direction of some company that can repair? im not after super duper performance. i use it visually si stand is fine. i just want it to work and after 40 years of use it probably deserves some tlc.

I use a Everbrite 90 degree with my St80. it beats any prism hands down. Also use a fringe killer. Makes my St80 a great throw it in the car with a tripod when im working away from home.

i will be 101. Besides which, probably still in lockdown.
