Mine is about the same age.

Was the information regarding tracking what you wanted??

There are some clues here if only I could figure out what they are!! Is the
ST7 cord a "standard" for what? I mean did you buy a ST7 to LXD cable or
just get someone to make it up and if so from what drawing?

The hand box would lock up too, so that I couldn't use it to move the
>scope back.


I get that hand box lockup thing when I'm pec training, crazy thing is that
when it's "going west" press West and it stops!! not the logical thing to do
when the scope takes of in a westerly direction to deliberately then hit the
west key! Same in all other directions.

What have you got mounted on the 750?

Tom.
