l just received a Peterson E-Z Focusing kit for my LX- 200 in the kit was 2 bearings, a washer, an allen key and some grease.
The bearings were packed in a bag marked Timken and had a part number stamped on the bag, after fitting the kit which l must say made a great difference to the focusing of the scope l thought l would ring my local bearing supplier and get a retail price on the bearings, $4.10 each + GST, price of the kit from the supplier, $65.00, l didn't realize a small packet of grease cost that much.
