If the ammeter displayed a high draw, and at the same time the scope
stopped, this may be an indication of a deeper problem. For some reason the
scope stopped its slew, maybe due to binding or something else.

I would suggest that you contact your dealer or go directly to Meade Tech.
You could reach Meade by using this toll free number 1 800 626 3233.
