My first concerns with such a maneuver were differences in quality. I later read that Torrence, CA usually did a ban up job building scopes. Then the finer differences between Equatorial & fork-mount-with-wedge (factory?), then I saw that they have a fine adjustment from underneath. Now I'm at a place where the reliability of the drive system comes to the front. Are they easy to repair as I do have an oscilloscope and a soldering iron. Or are parts still available. And then there's the hand controller. Also, I've read that many Celestron fork mount OTA's can be mounted on newer equatorial mounts. This being true, I'm sure somebody here has already done that.
Thanks in advance
