    Description

    This controller board is damaged but still allows computer control via the USB interface. If you need to use your mount via computer control while waiting for a back ordered replacement controller board, this may be what you need.
    You can see scorch marks near the pair of red/black wires towards the left of the second photo. This happened when (in the dark) I plugged the USB connector into the handset socket.
    High speed moves sound slightly different when using this board versus an undamaged board but otherwise, I never noticed any problems with computer control. I kept this board until I sold my EQ6R. Now that I no longer have an EQ6R, I'm making it available to others that may need this.
