Resurrect a CG5 mount?

[stefski]

Dear All,

I have a CG5 AGT mount which no longer works (the RA drive stopped working on it about a year ago). I no longer have the hand controller either. However, I was wondering if it could be saved somehow - even if I only used it manually. Apart from the hand controller, it's all still intact.

Can it be taken apart and rebuilt and I just buy an RA drive to put in (I don't mind if it's no longer goto)? I am a bit of a novice at DIY, so is this relatively easy?

Cheers for any advice.

The Skywatcher EQ5 dual axis or single axis drive kit should fit the CG5.
