Title
Celestron CPC 800 DC Power Socket Replacement
Introduction
The factory installed 2.1 mm DC power socket is too short for the threads on the power cord to make a connection and screw the cord to the CPC800. By utilizing a longer DC power socket from Switchcraft (Manufacturer part number L722RA or DigiKey part number SC1331-ND), the power socket can be removed and replaced to work as intended with the power cord provided by Celestron. Soldering is required and it is assumed users are capable of performing this task.
