That looks AWESOME!! It looks like it has a continously variable speed (instead of descrete step intervals). How much did all the parts cost? Do you need any special tools/skills to build one? Looks much nicer than what Meade makes!

The motor speed is variable not stepped & gives great control. No plastic gears to strip, no rubber bands or "O" rings to stretch. If you want me to make one for you, e'mail to m.shuter@ntlworld.com & we can sort out a deal. Post Extras:       Pages: 1
