I have a Lx200 12" and cannot get it to track in dec or RA!!!! It is a classic approx. 10yrs old. The dec and RA seem to work some but don't track. I adjusted the megahertz-no help. Previous owner had it pier mounted. I use it on a tripod in Alz. Help, help, help!!! any suggestions out there? Thanks Jerry

Great news. I found a dec chord tyne out of alignment and realigned it and cleaned the tynes. I checked the dec chord for continuity and it checked ok. I reset the day date 24 hr clock and rechecked the lat/lon. I started the scope again tonight and it tracked really right on!!!!! I clocked in some goto targets and after the first target not found I dialed in the coordinets match button and after that the scope consisently found the target within 1 deg. Man am I a happy guy!!!!! life is good!!! thanks for all the help and question guys. if anyone wants to know all the particulars please let me know and I'll update you with all I know. Thanks again --- jerry
