Hi Mitchell
I did the same thing for my 80mm Meade refractor using a plastic lid to increase the focus knob size by 2 giving a cheap 2:1 gearing. It works fine and the price was right! You are right about the small size of the original knobs - I sometimes think that astro gear designers have never done any star gazing.
Cheers Peter
