HEQ5 Replacing motor - how easy is this ?

[JamesF]

That would be excellent news.  Should it turn out that they do and there's any identifying information on it then posting that here might be helpful so that people can find it in the future.

Absolutely, if it does come and all is ok, I will put as much info on here as possible to relieve the heartache for someone else if their motor dies.

Ordered and awaiting delivery …...

Arrived  and installed.....now fully working again .....just in time for the rain...

No identifiable manufacturer marks on it....just HM5GT which is skywatchers name for it and a serial number.

I wonder if HM5GT might actually be some sort of model number for the mount, as it also appears to be a prefix of the part number for the controller board.

Hi, Kevin.

I have exactly the same problem. Can you let me know where you got your replacement motor from?

Thank you,

Colin
