I ebay’d the missing computer controller and some eyepieces for the Meade and the mount seems to work, but either I am screwing up the initialization or something else, but I have yet to have it “go to” anything accurately. At least hoping the drive will help keep it tracking once I get aimed at something.
My primary scope is old, and I’ve had to repair it multiple times, I smoked it once blowing capacitors in the keypad controller and control panel, which I replaced. The caps were underrated to begin with and was a known issue. Initial polar alignment is critical for precise go to function. Sometimes there are just simple issues in the alignment process which can cause issues. It can be frustrating.
Best of luck to you.
