[AZ-Observing] Re: Cable Gone Out

I should also mention that the Dec motor needing replacement is not a 
problem with the dec motor that came with the telescope from the 
factory. It is damage I inadvertently caused, not Meade because of 
*allegedly* cheap products. I won't go into the details here, but if you 
are interested you can send me a private email message, or talk to Gene 
Lucas when you see him. He is familiar with the problem since I have 
been informing him of my progress in getting this problem I created for 
myself diagnosed and resolved (mostly through myself working with MaximDL).
