Astrophotography by Dennis Friedman

When I first started using my scope and reviewing material on Meade LX200GPS based forums, I encountered significant concerns related to the integrity of the wiring in the scope. These concerns were loose wires, loose connectors and pinched/frayed wires due to mechanical rubbing.  

As suggested by Conrad Donovan and others, I placed all wiring, where possible, in either 1/4" or 1/2"plastic wire looming. This runs through the fork arms under the bottom of the forks to the central pivot points. I also used plastic wire ties and plastic wire tie holders to buckle down wires and components that appeared to be somewhat questionable. 

Since doing such I have not experienced any problems whatsoever with the integrity of the scope's wiring or overall performance.
