Hi Gang, I just bought a Vixen fluorite off Astromart. The OTA is immaculate but the focuser is another story. Their either too tight or too loose or rattle. Can they be adjusted or fixed by an expert or do you just toss the whole thing in the can?


Thanks, Dave

David:
There should be two small adjustment screws on the top
of the focuser. By tightening or loosening these you should
be able to get your focuser to work properly. If the screws
don't do their job it could be because the holes are not
tapped all the way through the focuser body, I had this
problem with a VX80 that I owned. The solution is to get a
metric tap, M4 I believe, and tap the holes all the way through.
