Tested the ETX on an external power supply and my custom pigtail power cord. Verified 4.5 volts direct current and centre tip positive. When I plugged it in initially, nothing happened. But as soon as I touched the direction switch, the motor started running. Whew!
This had flickered through my brain on Sunday night...
When I attach the Manfrotto tripod hexplate to the base of the mount, it just touches the North-South toggle switch.
Sunday night I inspected the base of the Meade mount and thought the direction switch looked funny. Half-way between N and S. Should have remounted it...
Anyways. It works! And there was much rejoicing.
