It fits!

I needed a new focuser for my Unitron 60/700 - it's missing a knob afterall.

Thankfully, I was able to find a complete TOA-130 focuser, with the necessary spacer-adapter.

Now my Takitron is finished. I just need a 5kg tube counterweight to balance it. The tube adaptor also acts as a mini-radio telescope.

Your Takitron is certainly one of its kind :eyepop:
I would be careful with attaching a 5kg counterweight though, as it may cause the OTA to snap in half :lol:

Only 5kg? ;)

[LewisM]

Oh, good point Suavi. I'll reinforce the tube with some dairy industry grade stainless steel.

[Slawomir]

That will make it the heaviest and also the strongest 60mm scope on the planet, and therefore in the entire universe (according to sceptics) :cool:

[FlashDrive]

Some sort of ' cross breed ' thingy .... :scared2:

[eddiedunlop]

...or a scope designed by a committee?

Takenstein, it's aaalivveeee!
