LX-200 Collimation Issue

Hey guys,

I have a Meade LX-200 Classic, and I recently purchased replacement collimation twist knobs from BF&G (out of England). The problem is, now I can't get the darn thing re-collimated properly. I did as the directions said, concerning removing, and replacing one screw at a time. But, I am having a whale of a time getting it back into collimation.

Everytime a screw is moved it does change the centering of the circle, so all screws are attached to the mirror. So, that's not an issue.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Guys,
Dave Long

David,
Can you be more specific?
Are you tightening one and loosening the others?
