Meade 1200 Electric focuserPosted By Mark DeVito |
Hello all,
Relatively new to Astromart and first time at the forums. I was given a Meade 1200 Electric Focuser from a friend with hopes I could make some use of it. It is in excellent physical condition except it is missing some of the gearing. The main gear encircling the tube is present and in excellent condition. The motor is present and works. I have the gear which engages the tube's gear. The question is does anyone know what the gear mounting hardware looks like and what other gears are needed to down gear the motor? My goal is to "rebuild" the missing parts. I have a plethora of small plastic gears, but it sure would be helpful to have an image of wwhat it once looked like rather than have to reinvent the wheel (or gear as it may be).
Thanks for any input.
