Or get the retailer to spend £25 and send you the bolts for free....?.?
-
You could just ask the retailer in question for a set of the upgraded bolts and to cover the cost of replacing and posting them to you... ??
-
You are not missing anything obvious, and I totally agree, it should be perfect especially when it is really secondhand as it has been belt mod upgraded, so the least they should have done was replaced those crappy cheese bolts, it should work as intended with CW fitted, if it doesnt then return for refund and but elsewhere...., that is what I would do....
-
It isnt those bolts that bend, it’s the ALT adjustment ones.... those AZ ones work fine
-
If it an EQ6 pro with belt upgrade, and you are buying from a dealer, then I know which one it is, and for a dealer to not realise that those bolts are rubbish, is also rubbish, all the dealers know about those crappy bolts, and they were just trying to save money, it’s a very very common fault that most people have and is nothing to do with the way it is set up....

Can’t believe they had done a belt mod on the mount, and left the same crappy adjustment bolts in, that’s unbelieveable.. ?

I have owned three of the Meade Zero Image Shift focusers and none of the plugs have ever looked like that, hence why I asked whether it was origional....but I guess it could well be, but easy to change......
-
That doesn't look like the original focuser cable...is it hard wired into the focuser ??if not there are much smaller jack to jack cables with smaller right angle 5mm jack plugs available....
