Replacement aluminium focuser knobs?

[Merlin66]

I'm looking to replace the plastic focuser knobs on a SW ST102.

Anyone know of a supplier??

There's a few places in the USA, if that's of any help for you:

This above company seems to have the largest selection. And I know they ship international.

Good Luck,

Dave

 

p.s. - I don't know what's going on with this Orion-link. It may be down. It won't go to what it claims!

You want aluminum; these are brass but they're not plastic:

My brother made me this larger knob from a billet of scrap ali. that I bought on ebay to give me some finer control.  He might be persuaded to run out a commission piece:

Wow, there's much more choice at Teleskop Austria!

Ben,

As you say - a good selection, but none to fit the ST scopes - they have a taped end shaft and a central 3.8mm(!?) mounting screw.
