Any chance anybody has a scanned instruction sheet for this old EDMUND mount. Thanks Bob Post Extras:       MikeML sage Reged: 10/09/04 Loc: NJ Re: Edmund heavy duty EQ mt [Re: bob midiri]       #5701957 - 02/26/13 04:08 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   The standard Edmund clock drive was used as an example in the old "All About Telescopes" The drive in the pictures looks as if it is assembled incorrectly. The eccentric pin should be between the two posts. Clutch tension is adjusted with the two thumb screws at the back.

This is the Heavy Duty mount they had for the 8" Reflectors, a little different then the 6" mount I think. See this picture. Cant figure out how to get that pin in a different position. bob Post Extras:       bob midiri Carpal Tunnel Reged: 06/17/04 Loc: pa 19320 Re: Edmund heavy duty EQ mt [Re: bob midiri]       #5702084 - 02/26/13 05:01 PM Attachment (14 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I figured it out had to loosen those two back nuts to move it...see this pict. BTW these photo dates are bogus I dont know how to change the date Post Extras:       MikeML sage Reged: 10/09/04 Loc: NJ Re: Edmund heavy duty EQ mt [Re: bob midiri]       #5703808 - 02/27/13 04:29 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Looks like you figured it out Edited by MikeML (02/27/13 04:30 PM) Post Extras:       bob midiri Carpal Tunnel Reged: 06/17/04 Loc: pa 19320 Re: Edmund heavy duty EQ mt [Re: MikeML]       #5709666 - 03/02/13 10:25 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   This mount is a beast, weigh close to 100lbs.
