Hi Gang,
I,ve had a few Televues in my time and even though buttery smooth some drawtubes can slide when the scope is pointed too high.By tightening the lock screw just a little you will find it mars the chrome drawtube with very light marring or scratches.As most of you know I,m a fanatic about my equipment.Is this common and I just live with it.I know, Dave don,t worry so much about the small stuff and just enjoy the scope.



Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave
I have a TV101 and mine drifts back with a load. With my binoviewer in it I have to tighten it down pretty good but it hasn't left marks in the draw tube...yet.
