I will tell you, I do not think it is right that products that cost this much should be "old" after a decade and impossible to find parts for. I had a problem with my aged C-14 and Celestron was no help. Now, I like Celestron and have had good dealings with them in the past. Still, I was dismayed that for my scope, which cost me as much as a small car when it was bought, I could not get new motors for it. I mean, back in grandfather's day, something that cost so much was expected to be a lifetime usable item. And the C-14 was in perfect condition otherwise. I guess the electronics are the weak link.
