Slow motion control knob.

[warpout]

I have a Skywatcher 200p with EQ5 mount. I accidently trod on one of the slow motion control knobs and, needless to say, my size 10 put paid to it. I have done a lot of searching but I have been unable to find replacement knobs. I have seen plenty of the flexible cable controls but I am not a lover of these. Does anyone know of a supplier for the control knobs or a compatible substitute? Like I said, I don't want the long flexible type, just the short ones that were originally supplied with the 'scope. Thanks in anticipation.

Have no experience With eq Mounts, but if its only a controlknob, why dont you just buy one from ebay or aliexpress With the correct dimension?

For example '6mm shaft knob' ?

Grovers might be able to help. They have a product page for slow motion controls and the EQ5 is in the drop down list of mounts. Hopefully, it's the original item or a copy of that; you could give them a call to be sure. HTH & clear skies, Geoff
