thanks james

its sounds like the same problem as member kef9, standard control knob (black 1 1/2" plastic knob)

will the "SkyWatcher Slow Motion Cable Set EQ2/EQ5/AZ3" on harrisontel...co.uk a direct replacement. pull off the plastic knob and fit on the brass spindle with a flat on??

I don't know sorry. If no one else comments here, drop them an email or call them in the morning they are very helpful; i've found all the astronomical retailers helpful.

Good luck.

Hi Martin

If your still after a replacement, I have a Celestron CG 5 which I have upgraded the knobs on, I have kept all the old knobs. not sure if they are the same size as the skywatcher knobs but your welcome to have a look to see I have what you need. I live in Wolverhampton so drop me a PM.

Regards

John

Sorry Martin just re-read your post and I think I may have got a crossed wire, I dont have a right ascension slow motion cable. I have the RA and Dec Bolts and a set of Azimuth bolts.
