Where can I get Meade Finder screws?

I agreed to buy a 12" LX90, but the only thing is that I think the finder is missing 2 of its alignment screws (or not?). I don't seem to find a replacement online. Any suggestions?

Hi emad. If you know what size they are, you can try http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/

They do metric, imperial & USA threads.

BTW - if you cannot find the correct size, you can send them a sample. Email & phone them beforehand to let them they will be receiving a loose screw and you would like them to match it. I have used them in the past and very friendly and helpful.

Or get a second hand finder  Thanks for the tip, I'll check!

I believe they are 10-32 x 3/4" nylon, this is an American UNF thread.

I got some spare ones from Telescope House a few years ago, not sure that I can find them now, will have a look tomorrow.
