Pages: 1 Irregulus member Reged: 06/17/10 Loc: Tomball, Texas ETX90 Mak Observatory arrived broke       #5680900 - 02/15/13 09:02 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Just opened my new ETX 90 Mak and the fork assembly was not attached to the base (showing gears, etc.). I saw nothing to screw the center bolt into. I took the bottom of the base off and tried to tighten the "nut assembly" with no luck. I sent it back for another. Anyone have this happen?

Hopefully, your replacement scope will arrive without any defects.

I am curious if this was resolved. Post Extras:       Pages: 1
