Taking apart a CI-700

Posted By shay mor

Does any body have an experience with taking apart a CI-700, I sent it four times to Celectron for repair but they failed. When the DEC clutch is completely loose the slow motion knob can be rotated counterclockwise but not clockwise, strangely when the DEC clutch is slightly tighten this problem is gone, but than the DEC axis stacks causing slippage of the DEC's slow motion clutch.Strangely when I tightened the mounting plate to the DEC disk with a high torque it partially solved the problem but it is noticeable that the DEC engine is heavily loaded when rotating. Thanks in advance for any help in solving the problem or in taking apart the mount

Can a pair of 22mm Panoptic be used with Burgess BV125 Model C without vignetting ?

Thanks
