Bag with polar shaft, long dovetail plate and three adjustment screws was sitting on top of the Parsec in the box. Probably the culprit for the deep gauge in the dec plate, seen left of the round silver dovetail knob, upper right corner of photo. RA drive end. Small box that contains hand controller and central bolt for attaching Parsec to pier.  Closer view of gauge in dec plate.  Even closer...   Weight of the Parsec without polar shalf, etc..  Dec motor housing. Dec drive cable.
