6,000 km Corrector Plate Service Advice Needed
Over the last few years the LX200 has travelled over 6,000km on the back seat of the car strapped in with the seat belts and inside a padded JMI case but it seems the vibrations and gravity have had an effect on the corrector plate.
I removed the corrector plate retaining ring to inspect and noticed the corrector has slipped down by 2mm and rotated by 3mm clockwise and the bottom cork shim has been compressed by 0.5 mm.
I am now seeking advice on how to fix this, do I just rotate it back and re collimate or do I need to replace the crushed cork shim to lift the corrector back up as well. Any helpful advice would be appreciated. ( the photo shows what happened)
Thanks, Wayne.
