Vixen Refractor. Finder Scope Help.

[Grotemobile]

I want to change the finder scope on this

to a 9x50. The problem is finding one to

fit.As you can see i will need a new shoe.

Has any one got any idears to help us.

Thanks.

I think Baader makes finder shoes that can be attached to various scopes (I have one for my C8, which lets you attach a standard SW finder)

That looks like a nice older Vixen SP102

The finder mount that is on there is on backwards but you want to replace it so that's not an issue.

The last one of those I saw had a flat plate where the finder mount is fixed to your scope and they had added a standard Skywatcher-type finder shoe to the tube. That does involve drilling a couple of holes in the tube of course.

Hi John.That is the only way i could adjust the

finder scope,was put it on the wrong way round.At least

i know what shoe fits it now.It is a very old Vixen SP102.

The front lense, is a big old lump,with no coatings.

I dont no how old it is .I use it as a grab & go

scope.Thanks.

Steve.
