Telescope: Reduce Friction By Using An Old Vinyl Record Album

My old Orion XT8 Telescope had a rough life before I owned it. The disk surface that the Teflon rubs on had a lot of stiction - you had to push hard just to get it moving. So this video highlights how I reduced it substantially with a half-century old vinyl record album. Let me know if you'd like to see more videos like this.
