ZEQ25GT out of storage

[Prenf]

A quick question about the ZEQ25GT mount specifically although I suppose all go-to may be the same.

Due to ill health I’ve had my kit in storage for 6 years. Will it still work or do I need to do anything?

TIA

Hi, if its been in dry storage I would expect it to be fine mechanically, although you may want to consider refreshing the grease on the worm/gears at some point. The handset button cell battery will need to be replaced, but the handset should still work, it just wont retain date and time etc when you power off. If you intend to connect to a computer you may find that you need to update software/firmware and any drivers. I would just try it, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
