My Second Astro-Physics Mach2 mount SN494 vs SN82 - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO

A look at the differences between the Astro-Physics Mach2 mount Serial Number 494 vs Serial Number 82.

I bought my Mach2 because of your original videos. Not sure when they changed the CW insert to bronze, but I somehow got my CW shaft stuck in the insert about a year ago. I am guessing there was some galling. I had to use a torch and heat up the shaft until the loctite on the insert gave way. Sent the shaft and stuck on insert to George and received back the shaft and a new bronze insert. Can't say enough about the support from everyone at Astro-Physics.
