1.25 focuser

[nightfisher]

Do any of my learned colleagues know of a decent 1.25 focuser to fit a small newtonian i.e 114 skyhawk............i have been let down with a secondhand unit that might or might not have fitted, now i can not find any thing that looks like it might fit, there is one on astroboot but its 2" so to big

Would this be any good? No idea what it's like.

Just keep trying with the wanted ads mate. They come up every now and then. I can try and help you tighten it up if you like?

Shane thats very kind of you but i have looked to see what could be done and there is just not enough  strength in the unit, far to much shift on all the moving parts
