From your description of the problem, most likely the charge would be $175 for labor. If a replacement motor is needed, that would be an extra...
It is your choice. You could try buying another used AO-8, but apparently you run the risk of it not working. You could buy a new one - they are...
In practice there is some variation in the thermal interfaces for the sensor, resulting in some variability from unit to unit. Most of the...

I have no idea if an old CFW8 would work with an STX... they certainly aren't mechanically compatible. Set it to Standard. Period. Anything...
Always use Standard, period. Everything else is for obsolete wheels that haven't been manufactured for a decade or two.

No there will be no interaction between the two whatsoever. The SBIG Universal drivers share absolutely nothing in common with the DL Imaging...
Yeah, it wasn't a choice I would have made. Connectors and cables are an engineering nightmare TBH.
You can use any good quality HDMI cable. (We have seen some really cheap ones that don't work - entirely missing the outer ground shield.)
