Finally !!!!

[Mike]

Finally after hunting for over a year I have found somewhere that can provide a replacement worn and gear set for my damaged EQ6. It's a german company that makes bespoke gears for telescope mounts :-

The gear set is not cheap at €299 (£267) but it's still a lot cheaper than buying a whole new EQ6.

[Ian]

which reminds me about the society mount I keep kicking. Do you think they might have a gear for that too?

[Mike]

They make bespoke gears so I am sure they could make a small one for the stepper.

[Ian]

Cool, we have a plan. I'll have a go at getting a stock gear for it first though, might be cheaper than getting one cut.

On a side note, I did some gear cutting at uni using a hobbing machine. Very interesting

Send him an email and ask - info@gierlinger.cc

Don't know how you spotted that, Mike, being it is in German!

Extensive searching plus still remembering enough German from when I lived there to get by.

[Ian]

you mean you got beyond "Ein bier bitte?" I didn't...

[Rick]

Ein?!

[Ian]

yup. Never got any further. Ordering a round for team of bricklayers I was working with was a little tedious.

Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte. Ein bier bitte.

[MarkS]

Elf bier bitte!
