Lightbridge New Modifications

Calling all Lightbridge owners, Along with the other necessary mods, I'm sure you're all aware of the "BUMP" that happens when the optical tube assembly swings from horizontal to vertical.
The bump is caused by the azimuth tension knob being a little too high.
I've spoken to Tony Costanzo of Astronomy Shoppe in the U.S. about the problem and he will have a fix for this shortly.
If you are interested in buying one it might be a good idea if we pool our orders and buy as one.
The new knob is about $19.00 + postage.
Please let me know if you are interested. Cheers, John.
