Absolutely brilliant sketches really captured alot of detail there. @Stu (Cotterless45) could not remember his password lol.

Yes it is the light will hit the crown first before going into the flint on its way to the focuser.
-
Yes that is what I have now, the flint has 2 pieces of scotch magic tape the third position looks like a piece of tinfoil. A devil to keep in place but managed it.
-
The flint has a flat back and concave front pointing forward the crown to be honest does have two convex surfaces one more so than the other, what flummoxed me was the lens where marked and as most people would do I had the arrows pointing at each other. Whoever opened it must not be an astronomer as I would think 99.9% would mark them up pointing at each other not both the same way.
-
It was dweller25 who said try it and I thought someone else may have marked them that way it was worth a try.
-
It was you who suggested flipping the mirror over so both arrows point out not the way I would of marked it but there it is, it was the only configuration left. the person who had it before cut the back off the little cap on the dust cap and put solar film in so before I got the wedge out I pointed it at the Sun and just looked through all blurred but when I started to focus I could see the spots I was doing a jig all around the garden. Put the wedge in and the celestron zoom focused I could not believe how good it looked went down to 8mm and was still focused there were a few whoops of joy I must say. Cannot wait now get a session in the dark.

Well ladies and gentleman the scope is fixed. I am very surprised that the arrows both point the same way on the glass but its working now. Thank you everyone that has replied and helped really appreciate it. Paul

I have had one for months but not had a good chance to give it a good review hopefully the weather picks up I have not been out since the first week in December. Won't work in the Tal with the herschel wedge won't focus.

Would this fit my Vixen 102M so I can put a finder scope on. The original bracket is like this in the photo thank you for your help.

I was thinking that worth a try I dont know how the person marked it up, I would have put the arrows pointing together but someone else could have done just what you said point them the same way.
