catman161 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 My polar scope reticule has been a tiny, tiny, tiny amount out of alignment for ages now. Today I decided i would rectify this and really wish I hadn't bothered I sorted the reticule but as I needed to put the mount down to about 10 degrees altitude, the alt bolt somehow slipped off the bit that it rests against to make the movements when you turn it. The good news is I took the mount apart and the bolt was not bent and i have sorted it. The bad news is I had to remove the latitude scale and NEQ6 Pro logo to get to the bolts to rove them so I could get at the alt bolt and they did not come off in one piece So anybody who knows where I can get replacements please pm me.

ollypenrice Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Oh, the logo's the logo and you can mark your latitude using a protractor. It's only a very rough indicator anyway.Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker1947 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Not sure how you can attach them so there removable, maybe double sided tape, velcro tape might make them stick out a bit...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
