I read somewhere about cleaning out the original lubricant, upgrading the stepper motors, replacing the bearings with new ceramic bearings, and tuning up the mechanism for best PEC. I could probably do this myself if I had the instructions, but I would rather have someone do it for me who has had experience. Does anyone know of a company (or individual) who can do this for me? Thanks! Dave Emery Post Extras:       orlyandico Carpal Tunnel Reged: 08/10/09 Loc: Singapore Re: How to/Who can upgrade my Sirius EQ-G mount?

If your mount is not performing well, bearings at least could help, I reckon. Post Extras:       DFEmery super member Reged: 05/09/08 Loc: Maine Re: How to/Who can upgrade my Sirius EQ-G mount?
