The whole dob mount is way cheaper too than a new scope. The method I've done it allows the OTA to be remounted on an existing eq. mount as no harm is done to the tube.

Hi Alexander,
slightly off topic question, is that an 8" F4 on a Dob mount in your post?
how does the square wood frame hold the tube.
maybe need to ask this question in a different thread.
sorry didnt mean to steal the thread troy.
