Meade Field Tripod Threaded Rod

[gfletcher]

Having sold a Meade Super Wedge , i need to acquire the securing threaded rod with handwheel on one end to enable me to attach and secure the eyepiece tray on my Meade standard field tripod.

Would anyone know where i could buy one from or would anyone have one they no longer need ?

cheers

If you know or have a the part that the rod fits into, most machine shops could provide you with rod and might even be willing to turn up the hand wheel.

Good luck.

Do you have the stepped spacer , spring and two threaded rings ?

The actual rod you could make ,have made , being Meade it doesn't have a metric thread, unf , unc or something like that.

I have one you could get copied, but the spacer could be a problem if you haven't got it.

The rod screws into the scope base so needs to be the right thread on one end at least.

You could try Telescope House on the off chance they've got a spare one.
