Thanks AndyH. Just looked on the link and the e-bay store has a complete replacement unit for under $30 - seems a very reasonable way of getting my DS2090 back in service as an easily transportable scope.

Thanks hemihaggis - I had spotted the dual speed crayford focusers and would love one...but £130 would be difficult to justify now I have a nice new Skywatcher Reflector.

Just recieved a replacement focuser for my Meade DS-2090 and fitted to rest of scope. Shows the value of being a member of this forum - old scope back in service - just need clear skies to try again.
