Product Details
Installation of this kit will:
The kit consists of detailed step-by-step photo illustrated instructions for the declination and the azimuth drives, plus special gear grease, wrenches and parts to correct those scopes where the gears do not mesh closely but are only touching tooth tip to tooth tip in a cogging kind of action.
Buck Harley developed the first precision metal transfer gears and worked out most of the development problems strictly on his own for the good of the astronomical community. He offered his gear design to PE Corp. with no compensation to himself simply because of our distribution ability and our experience with this type of a kit. This Drive Tune-Up kit encompasses the tune up knowledge that Buck and Peterson Engineering picked up while developing the gears.
Although the instructions provided are crystal clear, this tune-up is slightly more complex than the installation of the EZ Focus kit or the EZ Balance kit. If you had trouble with either of our other kits, or if you consider yourself to be a klutz, please either do not buy this kit or arrange for someone else to perform the tune-up for you.
Note from OPT: If your LX200GPS was manufactured before August, 2005 and you would like to upgrade your gears, we recommend you purchase Buck's Precision Gears instead. Buck's Precision Gears includes the brass gears as well as all of the parts included in the Tune-Up Kit. In other words, the Tune-Up Kit includes everything BUT the brass gears. Thanks!
