Takahashi HD-4/5 Motor Polarity?

Posted By Tom Duncan

Anyone know what the polarity is for the Takahashi HD-4/5 motor? Or at least Takahashi DC power needs in general? I know its 6v and a marking on the PC board of the hand controller suggests the center pole is positive but I need to make sure before I feed power to it.

Thanks

Surely someone has something to say about this question...it's kind of embarassing to post a question to which no one responds you know. Oddog

Vixen Super Polaris DMD-3 HC Problem

Posted By Tom Duncan

Got to use the mount this evening and discovered when pressing the east/stop button the mount doesn't stop tracking but moves it in reverse at the 2x rate, regardless of where the 2x/16x switch is at. The movement matches the other three directions in 2x rate. It doesn't stop the tracking, which I would expect it to, so that button does not act as a "Stop" button.
