Skywatcher Power Lead Quality - Oops! Friday afternoon job.

So if your scope suddenly stops working, check out your lead.

Just fit for the bin.It does make you

wonder what, your getting these days.

30 seconds with a soldering iron sorted it, but now I'm wondering what's going on inside my NEQ6 mount.
