Help! Broke Celestron Astromaster 130EQ Motor Drive Connector!

[charlie2k]

Hi all,

I'm a beginner stargazer and fell at the first hurdle.  I set up my new Christmas telescope took it from my warm house to the freezing cold outside and turned on the motor drive and the connector from the drive to the telescope snapped

Can anybody help me with where I can find a replacement connector.  It's black and about 1 inch in length with two screws at either end, I've searched everywhere but can't find any.  I'm surely not the first person to break one?

Thanks in advance

Hi

I expect you can still use and enjoy your telescope in the mean time.

Not the first, and certainly not the last. PS welcome to SGL.

HTH,

If this is a brand new scope it comes with a 2 year warranty, my advice is to speak to the supplier of the scope or to Celestron direct , I am sure you will be able to get it sorted
