Thanks Kunama,
I admit I may have exaggerated the $2 part - post was written at a time of being extremely *((& off ! To be told I can't remove 2 screws was ridiculous though and I didn't like Takahashi's attitude. Was seriously considering buying another refractor, but this episode has made me seriously review my options.
Putting the pinion shaft it in a lathe today to straighten it. If this does not work, and I can't buy a new one through Claude, I've already worked out how to repair it. Fiddly but doable. I'nm lucky enough to have some hobby machine tools....
cheers
Gary
