Will the Gemini II servos work with Gemini I? And, lastly, does Losmandy sell servos & gearboxes yet (they don't seem to be on their website anymore - at least I can't find them)? Thanks!

I believe the only difference between the ones sold now and the ones prior is that the new ones have a higher torque. The sevros and gearboxes could be found here Losmandy Post Extras:       berlinstar super member Reged: 03/28/11 Loc: Berlin Center, OH Re: Losmandy Gemini I / II Servos [Re: MikeCatfin]       #5603215 - 01/03/13 03:19 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I don't know how I missed that on their site...

You'll need to redo your limits to accommodate them.

I ordered one in mid December, installed it but haven't had the mount outside to use it yet.
