Another question for Meade LXD650/750 owners
      07/08/08 05:54 PM

Hi,
I have recently purchased an lxd650 mount and have been having a few problems. The Dec Axis is now fixed. Thanks to those who helped with their suggestions. Another problem that the mount has is that the stabilizer bars with the hub in the middle has broken off from one of the legs. The sleeve as I call it, on the leg seems to have turned a bit, causing the piece of metal or stabilizer bar to be a little crooked which probably stressed out the little connector on the leg and caused it to snap off. My question is: Can that sleeve on leg which joins the 2 pieces of the tripod leg, be loosened and then straigtened. Also, can the part that broke off be welded?
Thanks

Martin
