This nobody will quibble about - it is very easy to improve on Zhumell's screws and springs
The primary screws on my scope were 6mm. I don't know what the secondary screws are. They are probably metric as well.
Knobs have their advantages though. Means you don't need a screwdriver - which for me means one less thing to drop on my mirror !
Springs are available at Ace, I know, I bought some there, and elsewhere I'm sure. Those springs my be equal or better than these specialized astronomy sources.
Let us know your experiences !
Quote: Forgive me - no irreverence intended - but the price for the knobs and the springs from Bobs Knobs seems steep.
$5.33 for each spring
$6.66 for each secondary knobs
$4.83 for each primary knob
Kwalker bought the replacement springs at ACE for 50 cents each. What makes the springs from Bob Knobs so much more $$$?
Does anyone have the thread sizes handy for someone to buy the knobs cheaper anywhere else?
