Yep

Only one tightening screw per 1.25 and 2 inch brass compression rings.

What was really disappointing about this experience was the assurances I was given that this Crayford was straight forward "plug and play". I went to great lengths to make sure it was ready to go on my scope, out of the box.

I was (foolishly,as it turns out) comforted by the fact the same vendor actually sold my exact make and model of scope and assured me it was perfectly suited without any extra mods. I reckon that makes the problem of its lower profile almost unforgiveable. You'd think he'd be aware of the focusers specs?!??

Surely it's a sign of a good businessman to KNOW YOUR PRODUCT

By the way Anthony ...I think your comment about manufacturing tolerances is pretty spot on.



I'm going to see how a little "padding" of the 1.25 eyepiece holder goes in terms of limiting the amount of movement when tightening the compression screw.

But honestly, whatever happened to the days when you got and what you paid/asked for ... with no nasty surprises?
