+Graham Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Hi all. Looking for an NEQ6 Pro motor so I can fix a mount for a friend. Not sure how he has managed it but he has snapped the drive shaft off his RA axis. Much appreciated. Thanks Graham Edited August 24, 2020 by Daz Type-R BAZ and +RonC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) bet that took some doing. Do OVL do spares? Found a few on the web but I'm guessing you have seen them. Edited October 10, 2019 by Ibbo +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi Steve. I have put in a request to OVL as they are literally 10 mins up the road from me. Still waiting to hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) A few of the usual suspects have them at the £70 mark. Has the stepper got a number on it? Edited October 10, 2019 by Ibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 No such luck Steve. I have however managed to get the broken shaft out of the motor and will make a new one tomorrow at work. +RonC, BAZ and +Ibbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Thanks Dave. I can get one direct from OVL at trade if I need to. This morning I have made the new shaft. Now have to fit it and see what happens. +RonC, +Ibbo and Bottletopburly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 Well I have fitted the new shaft but alas the motor is dead. It must have damaged the windings when the shaft let go. So it is a replacement motor that is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
