Help Servicing A C8Posted By Michael Lisser |
Hi All,
I have an old Celestron C8 (Orange tube for those who are interested) and have found the Dec slow motion control on the fork mount is getting a little sticky / stiff / ceased and in need of some TLC. I was planing to oil / lubricate it. What is the best oil to use of the Dec threads? Does it matter? Will any lubricant do such as WD40? Is there a better option?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
