Looking for someone to turn down a refractor end plate by .100" to slip into a slightly smaller tube. Precise Parts seems to be into its online adapter thing that is hard to navigate. Anyone know of someone to do light duty mods such as the above?

Try Crawford Machine Shop. Dan Crawford made a custom focuser for the SN6 I gave to my son and grandchildren. It works great and was less expensive than the imported Chinese ones.
