TAL Spares

[chris47]

I am new to astronomy and recently bought myself a TAL 100R off ebay.

I am short of the mount for the finder scope and the counterbalance metal rod on the mount (it is the wooden one).

Does anyone have any idea where I could get hold of such things?

Hi although I'm new I can certainly try help you out. I believe the missing mount piece you are looking is this:

Mind and check the specifications of your mount before buying this to see if that is the correct piece needed.

There is a Tal users group on Yahoo who can help you out, and our very own Andy is a bit of a Tal nu. He is drawn to posts with Tal in the title like a moth to a flame. He'll be along shortly to help you out.
