I just purchased a set of knobs for my Meade 10" f/6.3 and the screws are 3.5" long. Before I install them I would like to know if this is the right length. I had a set for a C8 and they were about .5" long. Is something wrong here.

Tom, I'm sure you DO know that you must change your collimation screws ONE at a time...
Unless somebody here has a f/6.3 LX200, I would recommend taking one screw out and comparing it... of course, you must realize this would make you re-collimate your scope once done...
I have a 10" f/10 LX200GPS, but don't recall them being so long... (there could be a difference though, between our scopes and screws)
Good luck!
