anyone taken one apart? is it as simle as removing the three screws just forward of the eyepiece? Or, do these screws have nuts inside as do the screws on the tripod mounting bracket? One of the nuts for my mounting screws is adrift inside due to my failed attempt to remove it and replace it with a longer one. Jack

The Synta focusers I have worked on are threaded so you are safe in just removing the screws. The reason the mounting plate has nuts is that it is mounting directly to the tube, something threaded is needed on the inside.
