My EM-10 has acted up periodically since I got it back from TN to have the RA spur gears replaced (on the dime of the person who inadvertently ground the teeth off). TN didn't even tighten any of the set screws, so I had to do it myself when I got it back (I wasn't going to take a chance that it'd get damaged being shipped 2 more times).

But now sometimes the slews don't work. It seems to be a bad connection in the Temma 2 plug where the hand control cable goes in. For now, I'm just pushing the thing around by hand, as I somehow managed pretty fine polar alignment without trying, and it's tracking very well.

Saturn is getting low, though, so I may switch to the C-8 before packing up for the night.
