Thank you for the video. I wish you had provided step-by-step instructions on how you reinstalled the Oldham coupler and re-aligned/adjusted the meshing of the worm and crown gears.
Have you noticed how the RA worm gear looses adjustment over just a few months? My new G11 guided quite well for the first month or so I used it. Over the next few months guiding degraded a lot and it’s all in the RA. Backlash increasing? Seems that shouldn’t change that much in just a few months.
If you put the mount in counterweight down position I.e. that is with the telescope pointing towards the celestial North Pole. And then do a warm start rather than a cold start, you will not lose the model of the sky. You simply need to instruct the amount to point to a star and then use the direction controls on your computer or on the handset to center the star and then select sync in the model will be realigned with them out.

Thanks for sharing and your endorsement of the Losmandy mount. I haven't bought mine yet, but your video helped convince me!
Yay! Glad to hear it 👍
Nice video, and nicely done. I'm in count down to my GM811G HD in February 2020. Loved the high speed parts. LOL!
Nice! You’re going to love it!

Sorry, that should read once you have done the sync, the mount will be realigned with the model.
How do you like the g11 so far
I love it! Had one for about five years and it’s been fantastic.
Umm. If you had shown the tinkering also, it would have been waaaay more instructive. Actually that's what I was looking for!!
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll show the details/struggle next time! Haha.
