Guys,
I am about to embark on an task to repair my old CG5 mount from Celestron. If I had it my way, I would stick a stick of dynomite under it and be threw with it 8) . But I don't have the moola two replace it sad . This mount holds a 6 inch refractor and accessories. The crappy grease if you want too call it that, has locked up the mount. I have had this scope for 7 years, and it got very little use.
Any ideas on how too fix this ???
Hope you guys can help.....
