Hello folks: I've just acquired an older C5 Orange-tube with cutout holes in the fork arms. Optics are gangbusters with sharp lunar images using the supplied .965 6mm. Problem. Mo power cord. The plug is an unusual configuration. It is a dime-size round rather than oval hole on the side of the drive base just under the fork arm with the manual dec control in it. Projecting from the hole are two prongs, aligned horizontal to the ground, and made of what looks like aluminum. The upper prong is a bit narrower than the lower. SN looks like 214346. Any idea just how difficult it's going to be to get a cord or rewire?
Thanks. Mike.
You must have the pre 1976 small round base C5. I know Don Rothman from Astroparts Outlet had the power cord your looking for a few months back. He should be listed under vendors on this site.
