Meade LX200 - where / how to repair the mount?

Post by kaon »

I have a Meade 8" LX200 (from 1998 or so), and the azimuth axis gearing is somehow broken. i.e. the azimuth knob does not engage anything.

(It broke many years ago, I think not in my presence, it was man-handled by beginners I guess)

Is it possible to DIY repair? and instructions online I can look for?

Is there a service centre in Singapore?

Hi,
I suggest you check with our local Meade Vendor. His username is Lee.

Have a nice day.
