GSO Crayford 2" focuser from Bintel. $50 including postage.
Comes with original purchase receipt dated December 2005.
Includes 2"-to-1.25" adapter.
I just upgraded to the 10:1 micro focus model. I can highly recommend that focuser. But if you want an even less expensive Crayford to replace that high powered frustration sticky grease rack & pinion on your Dob or Newt this would do the trick.
As I mentioned numerous times on the forums, the gliding surface could have done with a little bit better finish on this unit. Nevertheless, it is well worth the upgrade from a rack and pinion focuser. Will handle a lot of weight without any problems: large 2" eyepieces and barlows, cameras etc. Zero image shift at high powers.
