To avoid lugging the Barlow to the hardware store, does anyone know for sure what the thumbscrew size is for the 1.8 Barlow? The folks at Televue thought it might be 8-32, but weren’t sure. It’s different from my TV 2.0 Barlow or my Ultima…Mine has gone missing. 🙂

That tool is something I needed many times over the years . Instead I would go through my screw collection one at a time to find the right size . I used to think that my dad was a nut case for saving screws he had or found , then I became the nut case , lol .
