Hi folks,
I bought a used 8" GSO newt, which came with a half-working focuser. I purchased a new one and thus this focuser is no longer needed. I figured rather than chucking it away, I'm sure someone here on ISS has the know-how and toolset to fix this focuser up and sell it off to make a profit for themselves :thumbsup:
The coarse focus adjustment on the left works fine. The coarse knob on the right occasionally works (when it's pressed into it's own rotating shaft) and the 10:1 fine knob doesn't work. I don't know why and perhaps by opening it up it could be an easy fix, or with spare parts be repairable :shrug: Other than the knobs its in great condition, comes with bolting screws and has a 2" brass compression ring.
I'm asking for $25 plus shipping :)
