help, sheared dec shaft

[lhuchison]

Had a bit of a mishap tonight. my 200p moved around the EQ5 mount un-controllably,my fault , didnt put the weights on first, and sheared off the dec knob brass shaft. Any ideas? are parts available ?

So long as you can remove the broken threaded piece you should not have a problem, give FLO a ring or have look in Scope-n-Skies bits and pieces sale section, whatever they call it, If all else fails you can always buy threaded rod and knobs of the same type from many internet outlets
