[QUOTE="Llew, post: 983725, member: 175007"] Coincidentally st1, today I've just finished replacing the Gibertini PM/Az-El with the SMW PM. I found the Gibertini clumsy to set up accurately. Too many adjustments to be made to accurately set up - eight nuts/bolts to loosen and tighten to set elevation/declination. Never achieved a good enough tracking of the arc. May be too over-engineered for my install. Going back to the SMW was a piece of cake. One nut for elevation, and a shim added to a dish bracket for declination. Result, good tracking, but should improve when I finalise tomorrow. [ATTACH=full]97037[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
