Well here is a update. I received the focuser yesterday and installed it last night. I have a new 102/1000 skywatcher refractor so the focusing knobs were different to what i have seen. No grub screws or central screws so a quick call to tasco support and we had it sorted. (They hadnt seen one apart before either). The knobs actually screw onto the shafts so you just hold oneside and undo the other. I had to use the rubber joiner as the aluminium one was to small for the focuser shaft which is about 8mm. Once fitted it works perfectly and looks alot better than its pricetag. The fast setting is quite slow but sufficient and the slow focus is amazing. For $99 I couldn't be happier and the focuser has no backlash at all and is quite impressive for a so called cheap R&P.
