Apertura/GSO
8", 10" & 12" style telescope mounts (12'
photo at left) may be used to replace original factory mounts.
We employ select Teflon and laminate, correcting the overly fast
and touchy motion the "lazy Susan" azimuth assembly
suffers in the OEM mount. Our mounts are constructed using 18mm
birch plywood, providing strength, light weight and rugged endurance.
Original factory mounts are pressed particle board that lacks
long-term structural integrity, are prone to wicking moisture
and may degrade rapidly.
This is a standardized design, no changes are allowed.
We will ask the first 10" and 12" mount buyers a few
simple dimensions.
Integrated
EZ adjust setting circles (altitude and azimuth) are available
with these mounts, which include Teflon and laminate bearing material
for smooth/sure azimuth motion: IEZSC.
Separate EZ adjust setting circles with preferred azimuth
motion is also available for your current mount: SEZSC.
Azimuth motion upgrades: Replace your mount's rocker box
bottom board and ground board assembly with our Azimuth Motion
Upgrade (AMU). The boards are 18mm birch plywood using the preferred
Teflon and laminate for smooth motion and sure starts and stops.
We will ask you to provide a few simple dimensions.
