Would someone have the schema of the small electronic plate inside the base of the "Meade LX3 8" quartz" with exact characteristics of each component as well as the characteristics of the small transformer that feeds the motor. The indication on the component are unreadable on non existant.
One of the above element is broken on my instrument and Meade claims they canot repair it, which I find unacceptable. They recommended me to buy a new instrument !!!!
I need therefore to redo myself that electronic but for that I need above details.

Please help me.
thanks

I believe I may have a copy of the schematics, I will search tonight. I sent Meade an LX3 drive which they repaired about a year and and half ago, they charged $200 then. I sold my LX3 drive, and now use the LX5 and LX6 drives, which I find to be much better. I wonder if Meade is no longer repairing any of the older drive systems?
