[sac-forum] Re: Help with Encoder

That's the unit, Jack.  What I need to try to do is take the 5-pin plug off
the one you have an install it on the one I have.  Does anyone know how
difficult that may be?  It looks like there is a face cover that snaps off
(but if it is GLUED in place, the job could be a lot tougher).  Can you
bring it to the meeting next Friday, Jack?

If it's an S2 4000 encoder type, I have a non-working one you can have to
use for spare parts if you can do that. It's mechanically fine, just doesn't
work, I think it got wet. Email me.

Tonight as I was setting up my C11, one of the pins on my RA encoder broke
off.  I tried to solder it back on, but it was far too small for my tools to
cleanly solder.  It is a 4000 tick optical encoder with a part number J2044
on the label.  

 

Is there a store in Phoenix that might stock this encoder?  If so, where
would it be and would you have a phone number for it? 

 

I am also going to send an email to Starizona to see if they have the part
in stock.  Last choice would be contacting Celestron, I suppose, although
the DSCs are an after-market item and not Celestron's.
