<DIV>Didn\u2019t realize it was missing until I got home to Milton.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These slow-mo cables are the Achilles heel of this mount \u2013 Cloudy Nights
has no end of complaints, but Vixen refuses to improve its design.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Wouldn\u2019t you know I ordered new cables from Agena on Saturday and they
shipped today!! Thankfully they aren\u2019t expensive \u2013 about $10 each.
However, I had to order 3 of them to get above Agena\u2019s minimum international
order of $25.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any chance you could get the cable you found to me on the next club
night?.........or send it with someone who\u2019s going?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many thanks for spotting this, and for sending out the email!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-David MacMillan</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ps: If anyone has suggestions for keeping these slo-mo cables from falling
off (e.g. adhesive, teflon tape, drill a bevel into the integral male part of
the slo-mo controls, a curse), I\u2019m all ears !!</DIV>
