PRICES SHOWN ARE FOR INSTALLATION ONLY.   Materials, packaging, shipping, and handling are not included.

Full installation with complete checkout $395.  

Here's how it seems to work well:

Ship or bring to me your rocker box and ground board.   I will install the ServoCAT parts that can be installed on those components.   About a week later, bring me the rest of your telescope.   If you get the telescope to me by 9 AM, I will complete the installation, and you can drive away the next day .   Includes installation of ALT and AZ Servos, installation of new ground board from RXD (required), and ALT drive cable.   Includes installation of DSC Stalk if you purchase it from me at time of ServoCAT installation.   Installation of other items is extra and not included in the above price.

  • Mechanical Installation of DSC Stalk . . . . $25

    Ground Board Repair Services.

    Does your telescope stop, or slip, at certain spots in its rotation in azimuth?   You may have a notch in the edge of your ground board, which was caused by the roller continuing to run when your telescope was constrained from rotating.   Send it to us for repair.   We will drill out the notched area and repair it with a wood plug, sand it smooth, and seal it with stain.

    Only $30 for the first repair, $15 for each additional repair if performed at the same time, plus S&H to your location.
