One of the best and probably the easiest replacements would be a Moonlite focuser. They offer a kit with spacers that makes putting the new focuser on easy. The moonlite focusers are nice lightweight and made in the U.S. I have two of their focusers and while the two speed option ( CR2 model ) is nice, the CR1 is a great focuser if you have a smaller budget.
