Converting (adding drives and gearing) a fork

Posted by Herb Watson on July 26, 2002, 10:22 pm

I'm attempting to finish a fork mounted 16" Newtonian and need some help. I have 1" of shaft for RA and can't figure out how to get a worm gear and clutch system in such a short space. The shaft is 2" dia. for RA and 1.5" for Dec. The Dec shaft has 2.5" of shaft and isn't a problem. I should probably have something made for me rather than spend money on something that will end up in the (bad idea) extra parts box.
