My Scope has the 6 screws on the secondary housing a design change Meade introduced mid 2005. I have been told not to attempt installation as there is considerable scope for mess-up as the screws have to pass through a coil spring Any Advice or experince with installing on a Meade with a six-screw secondary?

Be sure to follow the instructions carefully though. They should specifically mention the 6 screw design. You have to tighten everything up and do one knob at a time.
