I am searching for some info on putting motors on both drives of a GP mount I have. It is a older model. Still has wooden legs. Will the meade 493Ds motors with the 497 autostar work with this mount? Anyone who can help let me know. I have been looking to do this before I put a scope on this mount. Thanks. John Dean

Yes, but you'll need to do some machining or buy a gear set. I have converted my GP to use DS motors and Autostar. Works very nicely. There's a Roboscope forum on Yahoo that I co-moderate that has tons of info on this conversion. Come on in for a visit.
