This Mount was installed at the Bayley Observatory in Barbados about five years ago. About three years ago it started making occasional slight squeaking noises when slewing. Recently those noises have become louder and more frequent. Additionally we are also hearing a faint whistling noise as like a kettle boiling.
There are also frequent connection errors between the Mount and the computer despite several changes of the USB cable and reloading of MKS 5000 drivers.
We need a solution.
