Hello,

 

I have somehow lost the faceplate and three screws behind the focuser knob on the Celestron 6 " SCT, see attached image.

 

Can you purchase a replacement plate and screws?

 

Or does anyone know the size of the screws that hold that faceplate?

 

Thank you.

 

Ron

Hi,

The screws are most likely metric #2 or 3. Take the scope to a hardware store and match up some screws that fit. You could probably make a new face plate from almost anything.

Good luck!

Al
