ETX 125 azimuth gear slipping
"DTJ" wrote in message ... On 16 Mar 2006 11:39:16 -0800, "d1v0t" wrote: Has anyone found a good place to buy parts for an ETX-125? I've tried calling Meade customer support many times but have never been able to get through to a person. There's a plastic ring on the azimuth gearbox that holds the large plastic gear on the worm gear shaft onto the drive gear. The plastic ring broke on my scope and there doesn't appear to be any way to make a custom repair.
