Below is a pic of the $120 dollar Meade plossel I bought new some months back, the same day I got the filter above. I took this one back and quired it, figuring that the factory must have forgot to put some 'glue' on it or something. Here is what I was told.
"Oh they all come up like that, the caps are too tight. Just push it back down." Oh! I said. And I walked out, not wanting to cause a fuss because they were good guys and had given me a terrific price on my EQ6. I really only bought the EP for collimating my SCT, so if the eye guard comes away, because the only thing holding it on is another rusty little grub screw, it won't be so bad.
In case anyone thinks otherwise, no it's not your typical press on eyecup, it's sides are flush and it's held on by some mechanism on one side
