Withdrawn- Focuser for Intes MK72 aka Santel MK7 -Withdrawn

[mareman48]

 

 

Hi, 

I have an Intes MK72 aka Santel MK7 ( see attached Pictures) 

Fantastic optics on this Russian made scope, however the focuser is absolute rubbish.  

I know there are some who have the same scope and have lived with their, but mine can't hold any eyepieces of any discernible weight, and it constantly slips.


I have done lots of research, and posed the question on a few forums, yes even Google, but cant get a concrete or definitive answer.

Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction, or have even done the upgrade themselves.

Main issue is the 68mm ring supporting that supports the focuser, is fixed to the main scope ( see pictures) my thoughts are that I need something that fits on the ring, that can accommodate the focuser.

Any thoughts or suggestions are warmly welcomed.

Thanks in advance
