I have this Byers Drive assembly and it's attached to a very heavy duty homemade aluminum mount. I just can't seem to find much info on Byers drives anymore...anyone know where to look?? I'm basically just trying to gather some info because I bought it used and may eventually want to sell the drive, the mount, or both.
The mount handled an AstroPhysics 6" f/12 Super Planetary refractor at one time...that scope has since been sold with the tube rings. The gear is 8in. in diameter. That tube assembly was about 28-29 lbs so I know the mount can handle at least that much! The central shaft opening is 1.5 inches and the gear thickness is 1 cm.
Can anyone offer any info on the drive and on Byers in general??
Thanks guys!!!
