Hi. Recently our astronomy club has obtained a few donated telescopes. Got most of them working, but I still need the following items:

1.25" Newtonian Focuser, 3" high
6x30 finder, to fit standard t-rings
any finder, to fit 2" wide t-rings
German Equatorial R.A. counterweight, 1.5" wide shaft

I can't spend big bucks, so I'm looking for used equipment. If anyone has any of these items, or can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it...Dennis

Hi. My club has a 4" edmund scientific edscope. The focuser gears seem stripped. Won't hold the weight of an eyepiece. Am looking for a 2.5" high R&P focuser with a provision for single vane holder.

Yes, I tried universityoptics.com. They have a 3.5" high focuser.

Any reply would be appreciated...Dennis
