Probably not, AJ.  This is a 5-pin jack and the pin that broke is the common
lead (of course!).  Thanks for checking though.

Dick, I have an extra 4000 step encoder with number J18976.  It uses one of
those RJ jacks with 4 pins.  Not sure if this will help.  Let me know.

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.
