Flexible control cables

[Richp]

Morning,

I've just bought a Skywatcher Capricorn 70 off of fleabay, mainly as it was cheap and for use as an extra scope at astronomy club and for solar viewing. Trouble is, it's missing the flexible control cables. I know I could get some from FLO, but any ideas for mocking something up cheaply as buying them will pretty much double what I spent on the scope!

Cheers

some form of electrical cable springs instantly to mind. I think the trouble you will have is finding something to attach the cables to the spindles on the mount. You could keep an eye out here
