Televue Focusmaster not responding to left movement command
Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2020 6:38 pm
Greetings everyone,
I am new to this forum. After several years of flawless use, my Televue Focusmaster computer interface has presented an abnormal behavior. I control it with MaximDl as usual and it turns the wheel to the right when prompted to but does not move to the left (towards the back of the telescope or when seeking additional back-focus). Actually, once it starts moving to the right, I sometimes can't make it stop. The handheld 9v battery driver, on the other hand, works perfectly well which narrows down the issue to the shoestring focusmaster.
Is there any electronic fix I can do at home? There has to be a circuit cut somewhere. I would like to try to repair it and not just dispose it. It has worked very well in the past with no issues until now.
Thanks
Guy
