Kaptain Klevtsov Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Just realised _ Dohh!The HEQ5 that I just got had motors in that I took out and stuck on a shelf in the office to gather dust. Surely these must be of use to somebody? Anybody know what they will fit?The "SPARE" kit consists of the two motors, two gears and a hand controller with a circuit board to connect them all togetherCaptain Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazOC Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'd keep them as spares just in case the Skyscan ever has to go in for repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambermile Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'm pretty sure they will only fit the HEQ5 CC - at least the EQ6 ones won't go on a HEQ5. Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got that setup myself on my CG5. They crop up on Ebay for around £60 with a small refractor or reflector that you can sell to offset some of the cost.
