I think I fried by circuit board as the slew motors no longer work. Anyone have any idea where I can, if at all, get a new circuit board? Thanks.

Not that I've heard of no. I have run across references to other "un-forking" their Ultimas and remounting mounting the OTA on a german EQ mount. Good luck.

Hi:
Why do you think you fried it? What happened? I'd do some troubleshooting before searching for new electronics.
You can give Celestron a ring and see what they say (they occasionally have some ol' stuff squirreled away)...failing that, the guts were made by Tangent (the DSC folks).
