GlenD> yeah, the focusser was what I had available from my 10" upgrade ages ago. I'll upgrade if necessary although I think I would go for motorised maybe, another project for DIY ?

. This thing is quite long and the focusser is going to be a reach.
I'll do you some Guitar Machine Head pix and post them up but nothing to them really. I just drilled holes through the rings and mounted them as per usual fittings would allow. I faced them outwards for three reasons, 1, to maximise the angle to the centre, 2. to stop the string winding off by being pulled over the end and 3. to protect the knobs from bumping as much as possible. Rolf uses a swivelling block to keep them straight but in my case they just come off the spindle to the centre and float clear of the rings. That works for guitars, works for me. Simple and lightweight.
