I would rather swap it for a ZWO one but Altair don't sell them and I cant see them giving me a refund when its nearly out of warranty (unfortunately!)

You will get a v2 instead most likely.

Redesigned electronics and a aluminium casing as opposed to the plastic shell. Generally looks more the business than the older black model. I own one.

I have v1 of that cube, and on my MN190 I had to mount it in such a way that I can't use the temperature probe. V2 looks indeed a lot better, and more professional with the print on aluminium rather than sticker on plastic.

Just realised it was sent to the office so wont get it till Monday, still hoping its the new version....

I got the new motor unit the other day - its the newer version with the all metal case, very nice!  I set it all up tonight but am wondering if I have a problem with this motor... I was using the exact same settings in SGPro as before but this time it seemed to have loads of backlash in the motor, I thought I would try and give the focus knob a little turn/put some pressure on it, just to see if it was backlash in the focuser or anything and I was surprised how easily the focus knob turned, very easy, almost like the focuser motor was not attached!  I  looked at the motor and can see Im turning the motor with the focus knob, easily, which is not something I think I had with the other motor, or indeed the ZWO focuser that's on my Newt.  Do you think I need to return this motor as well?

For the record, the motor coupler screw was not tied enough so the shaft was rotating without the proper motor shaft contact

Sorry - Yes, my mistake!  All working perfectly now.  I think with me putting it together in the warm house then it being so cold last night, it just needed a final nip of one of the screws on the motor shaft

Don't panic.
