So - finished the rebuild of my old EQ5. Took it all part, cleaned, smoothed surfaces, bearings all good, but cleaned and regreased, etc.

knobs had broken off, bolts bent, etc - so needed a fair bit of tlc.

And fitted it to a 2" EQ6 tripod (needed to fit a custom 'north' post, etc.

A fair bit of CAD and 3d printing, painted the controls white and biggers to have a chance of seeing em at night, etc. Motorized and covered top motor, new mount bolts and 3d printed knobs.

it's all solid now, and moves smoothly. So I reckon, all good now. 😀
