Guest Kheldar Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 More shiny stuff today First up the second upgrade as mentioned above - a Paramount stylee top plate. No clamps here, on the end of the bolts (you will note there are four holes so I can add extra bolts or move the existing ones) are brass losmandy style ends that spin freely of the knob (I'm sure it makes sense to someone ...) so when you tighten the bolt it just pushes the brass end up to the plate and holds it tight and not directly related to the hub Dave also let me steal his counterweight mechanism. Only serious niggle with the EQ8 is that without the polar scope it doesn't balance properly as both the big motors are on one side of the RA This however resolves that little problem! Still tidying up the last of the cables but I'm sure my OCD (and Doc) will be VERY pleased with the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 OCD is not a strong enough word for it the cables are nice, tidy and pretty, leave them be and dont upset them anymore Looks nice though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 That's awesome Stephen. I'm the same with cables too. Mine are all Velcro together to keep things nice and neat and trip free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Using Velcro on cables just means more brake at the same time Edited March 18, 2014 by stash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kheldar Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I do like a close cut cable ... Bit more slack on this one, might shorten it a bit more ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
