ED80 lock ring

Greetings,
I just bought the .85 reducer for my ED80 in Orion's accessory sale, and it turns out that my scope is missing a part (I bought it used here about a year ago). There should be a lock ring that screws onto the draw tube which would allow me to change the camera angle for framing. Without it, I'm forced to loosen the grub screws on the T-ring every time I want to change the orientation. Orion was really helpful - they recommended I post here! lol.. I couldn't find it at Scopestuff, either. Anybody have an idea where I could get one?

CS,

Shawn

I am trying to remember just how that works l but I am drawing a blank.

Can't you just rotate the scope in the rings?

I have heard Orion will only sell parts to the original owners, if you bought it second hand, you are out of luck.
