I took the C5 recently donated to the club for use in the loaner program.
Today I had an opportunity to test it.  Unfortunately, it seems the RA drive
is not working.  I can hear the motor, but the RA does not turn.

I have not had a chance to debug this yet.  Without the RA drive motor the
scope is only useful as an OTA.  This is a light scope. It would be easier
remounting it than one of the C8's.  Alternatively we could sell it next
week.

I should have time tomorrow to dig into this further.
