Focuser for harvesting

[thegableguy]

Hi folks, I've got an old 8" Skywatcher reflector that just needs one of these focuser bearings in order to work again. Annoyingly, the current Skywatcher crayfords don't fit this particular tube (they now have a smaller footprint) so need to either repair this focuser or buy an entire new one just for this tiny little bearing.

It's the same bearing as in my current GSO & Orion focusers, so shouldn't be too hard to find one that works. If anyone has an old broken focuser lying around I'll happily take it off your hands for a reasonable price. Or if anyone knows where I might source this bearing on its own that would be great too.

Cheers!

As mentioned in another section, try RS-components, Bang good, ebay...
You need to know the dimensions (inner / outer diameter, thickness).
Prices on RS are quite low, so it makes sense to buy all 4 of them (ebay is even better, but you have to wait for stuff to arrive from China)
