We have also replaced more units by our own equipment, driving the original motors (stepper and synchronous types) and providing more features that the user requires. See repairs. DC motor drive chips used by MEADE in the 1990’s went obsolete shortly after they were designed in. These components are subject to catastrophic failure.
