Steve offered up his marine battery which I fetched the JMI case (with power cable and hand controller) from basement. Hooked everything up. Turned it on. The HC lit up! It wanted to aligned. WHEW! I had not screwed up the mount! Ran it through the GPS step. It acquired the date, time, and location. WHEW! I had not broken the GPS parts. Went through the alignment process. The 'scope moved left, right, up, and down. WHEW! I had not goofed up on the motors. They did not sound strained... I was very relieved.
Lora sent a shot entitled "Lego for big boys." Indeed. And all that Meccano experience...
